Summary: A great read...even if you're not family!!
Review: I was shocked when my aunt told me a book had been written that encompassed the life of one of our family members...and, pictures of our family. I was even more delighted to read the poems that reminded me of my own childhood and adult life...I'll cherish this book always and pull it out from time to time when the words escape me...

Summary: Totally surprised by my enjoyment of book
Review: I was totally surprised by my enjoyment of 'The Sanctioned Fruit'. It is an unusual book of poetry and a family history with pictures of the author and her family. I found myself reliving parts of my childhood, some sad, some happy. The poems of Nature and Nurture will make you want to go outside and play in the dirt again and watch for the sunrises and sunsets. And the poems of Death and Despair will cause you to murmur some of the prayers over and over again.

'The Sanctioned Fruit' is one of the very few poetry books that I find myself rereading over and over. I'm sure everyone will enjoy it very much. I enjoyed it so much that for the first time in my life, I wrote the author a letter of thanks.
