How does one become a writer? One writes! One joins a writing/critique group! Since 2002, seven women have met monthly to share their writings. After the unexpected death of two members, they decided it was time to gather their best work into a legacy anthology. Celebrate with The Edmonds Writing Sisters their 17 years of dedication to writing and to each other. Enjoy their compilation of prose and poetry:

with memories of Puget Sound saltwater summers with grandparents to poetic summer moments by a creek;
with an entertaining take on the eternal struggle against the pernicious dandelion to a memory of office temping and the challenges of being anonymous;
with a reminder of how to make new mistakes in the sampler of life to musings on a messy office;
with joining the activist Women of the Wall in Jerusalem to travels in Taiwan and the discovery of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion;
with a child's love and loss of her first dachshund to the integration of pet therapy in long-term care for elders.

Laugh, cry, read; be encouraged to write and reveal your own life paths!
