Sylvia Maner Nickels

Opis

Sylvia Nickels' life changed in 2011 when her husband of almost fifty-three years died after a three year battle to come back from a major stroke. Time to get back to writing, if she was ever going to do so. Thanks to Kingsport Daily News Editors Pete Dykes and his son Steve, with the beginning of the next year came the fulfillment of a dream for Sylvia, a weekly newspaper column. Hours of poring over name possibilities, searching a dictionary and a thesaurus produced only names that sounded too cute, plain stupid or pretentious. None conveyed her mental vision for the column, some nostalgia, looking back at how 'things used to be.' Some of how she looks at the current way of the world. Some rants. Some raves. Maybe even an anecdote or two about family. So finally - Life Slices emerged. This volume collects sixty of Sylvia's Life Slices columns, first published in the Kingsport Daily News newspaper, written over a two year period.
