10,000 Things is a love song to the lands where three major religions were born and where deep-seated passions continue to rule. It records the author's transformation from a woman-broken and vulnerable-to one reborn into strength. From the ashes of the old, she cobbled together a new life in a little town on the Arabian Gulf; there, she learned to live and work and love once more in the crucible of patriarchs and messiahs where columns of swirling sand and biting heat rule. Using the everyday of desert life, 10,000 Things provides a glimpse into the exotic through the eyes of an American woman who sees it all for the first time.
In this stunning collection, Fowler chronicles her time in the Middle East with humor and heart.
She offers up stories pf grief and acceptance, fear and triumph, longing an love - most especially love. Each if the essays in 10,000 Things is a sweet to be savored with a good cup of tea.
- Barbara J. Taylor, author of Rain Breaks No Bones
This book is a dream - save for the black knee length socks.
- Betty Kilonzo, author of Closure
