'Writing is my way to embed my memories and give them meaning and value. Where to start is the challenge. I see my life as a spider's web. Its radiating strands and concentric circles protected me during my early years but the protection was fleeting. Over time holes and rips appear in a spider's web as it does in the web of life. Nature takes its toll on the web and the human spirit is battered by pain, sorrow and disappointment. But there is a strength and resilience residing within that allows both the web and the soul to survive. At times I have been caught in the web but, like the butterfly with detachable scales on its wings, I survive.' (Publication Summary)
