A poetry and prose collection that reflects a life loved and well-lived. With extensive travel, a satisfying career, and a beloved family, who could want more?

Brenda says,

When I reflect on my total life, I realize how truly fortunate I am to have had such a wonderful family. Starting at an early age with my grandmother, I always was surrounded with love. I was very special to my father. He would tell my mother " Don't disturb Brenda she's reading a book". At 13, he bought me my first horse in Galt. when we move to Colusa, he bought me another horse. I always had two horses so I could invite my friends to go riding. Looking back, I realized how spoiled I was. We were not a wealthy family, yet, I always had horses and took flying lessons. I guess that's not the life of a regular teenage girl. Later life brought adventure and love in all its phases. I wouldn't change a minute. This book tells of some of the extraordinary moments I enjoyed growing up in the 50s. My early life was not like any other time.
