| Epigraph |
"It is more important to live the life one wishes to live . . .
than to live more profitably but less happily."
--MARJORIE KINNAN RAWLINGS, CROSS CREEK  "To tame the savageness of man, and make gentle the life of the world."
--SOLON (599 B.C.) | |
|
| Dedication |
This book is dedicated to God,
and was written for Michael,
whose "soul doth move my soul with . . . infinite love."
And our children, Clancy, Katie, and Rose, who provide the sweet music of home.
It is for Papa, who, twenty-five years ago, found my childish poetry and said,
"You have a gift."
And Mother who ignited my passion for words, reading, and books.
It is a monument to Emily Heckman,
my superb editor, and, now friend,
without whom Frugal Luxuries would not exist,
And to my agent, Sandra Dijkstra, who offered
me the chance to control my destiny. | |

| First words |
[Prelude] The French writer Marcel Proust once noted that each author plays his or her own tune, distinct from that of any other--the soul of the writer will always reveal itself through the written word. It is an ancient art. | |

| Last words |
[Prelude] Frugal Luxuries may not be a work of art in itself, but it aspires to nudge you toward exploring your own circumstances and extracting the dormant art concealed within your own life. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |
