Summary: Re-Membering
Review: Whenever I'm asked to edit a manuscript of stories for Chicken Soup, it's always a task I look forward to - until the final score. Too many hearts, too many memories, in the personal excavation of one's Soul. I'm not sure this book is titled correctly, "...for People 60 and over:" For most of the stories Re-Member a time when a kindred sense of belonging to the moment links the reader with the writer regardless of age, and in that junction Magic Happens. I felt like a young man privileged, sitting on a porch step listening to people open their hearts, animate their feelings, re-membering what they loved, what they lost, and generously sharing them with me. The stories in this book made me remember the things I can never forget...I hope they do the same for you. MR
