Walking Old Roads
A Memoir of Kindness Rediscovered
Serendipitous timing sends me on a midlife quest. Like many other people in the world, kindness and I had lost track of each other over the decades. At the same time, the parent child role reversal phase of life arrives, whether Mom and I are ready for it or not. While we are spending more time together, we walk along Memory Lane in search of my forgotten benevolence. Along the way we discover more than either of us expect.
