I just love this poetry book. I was given this book 25plus years ago. I loved it then. And I love it now. The new edition keeps everything pretty much 100% the same. The poems are sensitive and thought provoking and some are just fun. They open a door slightly to the Graham family life. Now Ruth is in heaven and their kids who were just kids or young adults then---are grown adults and parents now. Ruth's poems often have a Biblical theme to them---but always as it relates to everyday family life today. I love giving this book as a gift! h-21
