Witty, wise, poignant, and insightful, Honoring Echo is the triumphant story of one quirky individual as they conquer every obstacle that is thrown at them. It is an epic tale of travel, ingenuity, and self-discovery.
Here you will lose yourself in wonder as you see the entirety of the US fly by in one epic road trip. You will feel pride after joining the journey to start a homestead and poultry farm in a small Massachusetts town and you will see the joy and beauty in every day life as described by one eccentric individual. But it’s not all roses and puppies, this book is also about meeting challenges, dealing with toxic people and situations, and struggling with the deeper questions of life. It displays a turbulent emotional landscape that mirrors the physical. You will witness each victory over chronic health issues, questions of gender, shifting ideas about relationships, getting out of difficult situations, and wondering what this life is really all about. This is such a varied and expansive tale that each reader is guaranteed to take something different out of it but in the end it’s all very life affirming.
In my second book, Milking the Cat, I explore the wild and whimsical world of the animals in my life. With tongue-in-cheek humor I tell stories about a fierce pride of warrior cats, a lovelorn dog wandering the streets of New England, a group of seriously condescending monkeys, a monster in the wall, a fish with PTSD and so much more!
