Although Then and Now is her first book of poems and prayers, she has published essays and poems in journals, co-authored a book with her husband, and has received at least one award from a writer's conference in her home town. Included in this volume are her poems written from the 1970's to the present. The writings represent an outpouring of her memories, her anxieties, her joys, and her hopes for the future. Her closeness to family, to nature, to the Divine, and to her fellow man are elegized in this little book.
