Böcker av Linda Gray

My Soul Talks to Trees chronicles a woman's life well spent as a mother, daughter, sister, artist, teacher, counselor, wife, and lover. Brought up in a family of independent but often misunderstood women, Linda raised four children of her own, each with unique temperaments and talents she sought to nurture. Creating a home for her family while teaching writing to inner-city high school students and women prisoners, she loved as boldly and passionately as she sought truth and guidance from the world of nature and the world of spirit. My Soul Talks to Trees is a heartfelt, witty, deeply soulful collection of poems.
