Book Gathering

Come and enjoy a wonderful dinner followed by
The Grace of Ordinary Days book gathering on the love, forgiveness and creativity of this mother and son!

Described as “Tuesdays with Morrie meet Georgia O’Keefe,” The Grace of Ordinary Days by nationally celebrated poet, Kay Saunders, and nature photographer, Bernie Saunders, is a rare glimpse into the separate but inescapably linked lives of mother and son. Contemplative poetry and stunning floral photography are woven together by a narrative thread in two voices. Mother and son retell their recollections from a shared past and how each perceived them differently. The stories shed light and perspective that lead to understanding and forgiveness. The grace of ordinary days can help us to love better, and remind us of our own beauty, truth and passion.

Signed books, and Graceful Peace DVDs (with Tami Briggs’ harp music) will be available. They’re all great gifts for the up-coming holidays.
