Described as “a love letter to home and family life,” my essay collection, Writing Home ($16.95) includes 93 pieces that were previously published in national magazines and regional newspapers. These are my favorites under one cover — the stories and columns I hope my family and friends will want to read again. They cover topics such as working from home, remodeling an old house, losing a father, caring for aging parents, dealing with snarky kids, facing our own aging, and the bittersweet experience of sending a child to college. You’ll also read about my pet duck, tributes to Fred Rogers and Dr. Seuss, my gardening passion, my thrift-shopping addiction, and more.
It’s available locally at Yellow Door Art Market in Berkley, where you’ll find hundreds of beautiful gifts made here in Michigan. To purchase signed copies directly from me, please email cindy@laferle.com for more information. ~CL
