Publisher Description
All That I Need, or Live Like a Dog With Its Head Stuck Out the Car Window offers up a heaping plate of gratitude. In the best memoir fashion that is also part travel journal, Ms Fritschi plucks the ripe fruits of happiness from her own experiences as examples for all of us to embrace. All That I Need takes the reader on a wondrous journey of sensual discoveries first made in childhood and imparts the wisdom of maintaining (or re-learning) the ability to be satiated with these small pleasures as we age and eventually face our own mortality. She successfully mixes the contents of Mary Poppins carpet bag with Tinkerbelle’s faery dust, the Boston Red Sox with ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, contemporary musical and literary references and learning to swim as an adult to shine a spot-light on the beauty and delights our lives are meant to be.

A true testament to her free spirit
I met Teresa A Fritschi, she will always be “T” to me, when she lived a short time in New London, CT. So I agree, my opinion will be a bit bias about her book and T herself. The first I have to say is her book is T in paper form. It embodies the totally free spirit she is. When you first meet T, you can not help but be caught up in that smile and her vivid eyes. She has that innocent look of carefree wonder that you can not help but caught up in and just enjoy the moment, as when you are holding a beautiful laughing baby. But when you have a conversation with T, she is very well read. I personally have to say that it was the long conversations we had about nearly any subject that I miss the most about her. We would move from topic to topic and have no clue where it all began by the end discussion. I realize her book can seem to be a bit disjointed, random, and/or lack of cohesion, but you have let go of all the “standards” we are taught and just embrace the story. Instead of fighting it and saying the grass is green and the sky is blue, just let yourself go and look at the world through eyes that see wonder at every turn. And again, I realize a bias opinion, but I have seen to much hate, experienced loss no parent ever should, and for a very short time in my life, a friend made me smile.
Love & Light T, great job. I look forward to next.
