About this ebook
Sandi Huszagh
Sandi Huszagh considers close family relationships her most enduring achievement—foremost among them her husband of fifty-four years, two entrepreneurial sons and their equally entrepreneurial partners, and five amazing grandchildren. A marketing professor for twenty-one years, she survived her youngest son’s death, multiple cancers, and a near-fatal drowning in the brackish waters of Georgetown, South Carolina.

Acknowledgments
Without my family’s and friends’ support, these poems would not have been written. Reading drafts to Rick Huszagh, my husband, consistently brought his praise, occasionally his tears. He was with me at all times. Joanne Sheehy Hoover, my friend of fifty years and published poet, provided invaluable insights as she intently listened to particular poems and then closely read the entire manuscript. To Joanne I am particularly indebted for conceptual and clarifying edits. Our family friends consistently voiced belief in my work when my own belief flagged. Finally, my coach Dorine Jennette guided me meticulously in the early creative years, schooling me in structure and encouraging me to break out into free verse.
