Take a trip around the world
Check out my top seven travel stories, including those collected in lovely anthologies. Amazon.com says of my writing in Travelers' Tales: A Woman's Passion for Travel:
"The writers — including Frances Mayes, Anne Lamott, Pam Houston, Jo Ann Beard, Candace Dempsey and
Ann Jones — travel with such evocative attentiveness that the reader is
brought along every vivid step of the way — to a peaceful Spanish
church, a Laotian boat, a Tunisian desert, and to a 'field of
wildflowers . . . like colored marbles in Umbria.'"
