Like Water from a Spring

Janice Lynn Ross walked into her upstairs storage room one day, opened a long-ignored box, and hit pay dirt. She discovered poems—some written on scratch paper—and stories, letters, and journals, ranging from childhood to teen years to young adulthood. She selected some of these writings, then added more recent ones, too—about 100 pieces in all. Janice also provides rich, entertaining commentary and background.

It's a sweet, nostalgic read, written from the heart, and a fascinating and sensitive look at one individual's personal journey and development over a span of 50+ years.
