Returning Glance
Returning Glance is at once thoughtful, humorous and perceptive. As the author once said, "I must write, as choice phrases take a rabbit's leap into obscurity if not caught immediately on paper."

The imagery engages your emotions, your senses and your imaginative pleasure. A delight to read - there's something here to touch everyone, young and old.
