Experience the vibrant sights and dulcet sounds of a woman hearing-disabled since childhood through words that hum sing whisper holler forget and remember a life lived well. Reflect with Leona as she travels . . . through the seasons . . . the hills of South Dakota . . . on the road in Arkansas in the Old City Jerusalem...playing in the sun...or just sitting on a rock. The senses delight in the rhythm the feelings the spirit -all embodied in verse that shares the itinerant life of a sentient woman who savors the moment forever in words and photographs. The sweet scent of spring a forbidden kiss a morning stroll a song of sorrow- the pungent power of words wrought from the fragrant heart of everywoman. Relive her life this life your life the upheaval and affirmation the first time and the death dance. Take time now to say good-bye for a new beginning awaits us all. Be bold. Step forward. And begin your own journey TRAVELING THROUGH LIFE.
