Enough - Paperback

by Robert S. King (Editor), Carole Richard Thompson (Author)

This small book of poems with much to tell holds poignant vignettes of one woman's life. From the humor and empathy of character studies about people whose lives touched hers to the terror of a nocturnal tornado; from the depth of her love for nature to the life-long love that survived despite wartime separations that often left her to raise four children alone, Thompson heralds the unique joys and struggles of being a woman that embraces all of life.
