Tales From Colorful Lives is the third installment of stories and recollections from more than two dozen authors who have shared their experiences in a weekly writing group at Monte Vista Grove Homes in Pasadena, California, a community of retired church workers. Through their words, readers travel through nine decades and journey to places exotic and familiar: A waterfall picnic in East Kalimantan; climbing to base camp at Everest; creepy crawling adventures in Corumba; camping trips with unexpected consequences in Manilla; a special summer as a young boy in Monroe, New Hampshire; and finding the perfect Christmas goat. Told with rare humility and grace, the stories are historical, philosophical, humorous, personal, and at times theological, but never preachy. They resonate with the joys and fears we all have as human beings, offering a hand in friendship to the reader. The collection is edited by the writing group's facilitator, Anna Walker.
