Namaste Karla!
This is wonderful.. Too often people assume, without truly knowing the truths. I can so relate to this..

'Tellin' it like it is,' girlfriend~!! As someone supposedly over the hill [hell,I'm still climbin'], I know where you are comin' from. Most women will. Especially if they're over 50. Keep on writing from your heart & gut (as if anyone needs t'tell ya). Admiration & hugs, Phyllis:)

Karla, this is excellent! One should never judge another by outward appearances.

yes we all .... just as we are... accept us.. or let us be!!!!
The experience of a young adult trying to figure out what they want to do for employment or education can be overwhelming. My book will give them insight to what it means to be a carpenter. And the progress unions have made in discrimination.

My memories as an immigrant professional woman in Ottawa, Canada 47 years ago. A new life after having survived the liberal war of a new country Bangladesh on December 16, 1971.
This book is a collection of short stories that depict events in Author's life while she lived in Romania, then in Greece, and last in America. It's a beautiful and very sincere account of a young woman's life and comming to age.
