    About this ebook

    Elaine Wright Christensen's third book of poems reflects her desire to keep memory alive! Many prizewinning and published poems tell of ancestors, children, and insights gained as a woman who finds herself "still that summer girl.' She writes of losing a child, loving a man for forty eight years, speaking German, and living in the desert beneath a mountain that knows her, while longing every day for the ocean--the only place she truly recognizes herself.
