In tragic life, God wot
No villain need be! Passions win the plot;
We are betrayed by what is false within.
--George Meredith, Modern Love  | |
|
| Dedication |
For my friend Olive Morgan Blankenbaker, born 1910, and for my mother, Sophie Hansen Stackhouse, 1906-1995, two brave women who lost their only sons much too soon.
They taught me to survive tragedy and loss and how to grow old with grace and dignity. | |
