Publisher's Synopsis
Janice Lynn Ross walked into her upstairs storage room one day, opened a long-ignored box, and hit pay dirt. She discovered poems-some written on scratch paper-and stories, letters, journals, and schoolwork ranging from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. She culled through these writings and selected some, then chose more recent ones, too, about one hundred pieces in all. Janice provides rich commentary and background which is engaging and entertaining in and of itself. Whimsical, thoughtful, moody, joyful, funny, sad, and searching, Like Water from a Spring is a fascinating, nostalgic, and sensitive look at one individual's personal journey and development over a span of fifty-plus years.
