The president of Cedar Crest College, a woman's college in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Dr. Blaney has compiled a selection of thoughtful essays in which she reminisces about the events that have most colored and influenced her life and her perception of the world around us. Written over a period of years, Blaney succeeds in delving below the surface of daily occurrences to find the basic building blocks of a meaningful life. Her concise writing does not lecture, but leaves the way open for readers to reach their own conclusions. The essays are accompanied by carefully selected photographs of sculpture taken by David Finn.
