Isak Dinesen wrote about a friend that he "ate of the ripened heart of life." This is a tale of two such people. One, an eccentric old woman, the other an embittered and lonely man; they meet, and a friendship develops that gives renewed hope to one and which completely transcends the other. This story is true; only the locations are changed. Dear friends of the author, he felt compelled to write about them, and what they show us of compassion, understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, and the wondrous quality of bliss.
This is the LARGE PRINT paperback edition.
