I really enjoyed this book. She had a lot of good thoughts to ponder. The reason for the four stars is because some of the days the verses didn’t fit very well with her discourse. Other days they did.

Many of the included writings have been in other books of Laura's compiled writings. The author of this particular book did a better job of organizing the writings than some of the other compilations I've come across.

I was talking with a friend yesterday about how much change has happened in the last hundred or so years, especially in the areas of technology and commutation, but this book gives evidence that in the areas of human nature, community, and politics, not so much has changed after all. This is a simple, yet profound book, and in some areas, deeply thought-provoking.

I really like this book. It's hard to describe it because it's not a poetry book, even though there is poetry in it. It's not a novel, although there are some ficional pieces. It's more like someone's journal where they've put in things that catches their eye or stirs their heart at the time. Well worth getting if you can. I don't know if its available anymore - my copy was a gift.
