Janice Lynn Ross sauntered into her upstairs storage room one day, peeked into a long-forgotten box, and hit pay dirt. She discovered poems--some written on scratch paper--and stories, letters, journals, and schoolwork, saved from her childhood and teen years in Southern California and young adulthood in the San Francisco Bay Area.Amazed to discover these writings, she culled through them and selected the best ones--then added some recent writings to create the heart-warming LIKE WATER FROM A SPRING.Weaved among these 100+ pieces is Ross's entertaining commentary and background, making the book even more fascinating, endearing, and spunky.Whimsical and searching, moody and joyful, funny and sad, LIKE WATER FROM A SPRING is a sweet, nostalgic read--a sensitive look at one individual's personal journey and development over a span of fifty-plus years.
