Award-winning poet and author Barbara Eknoian affirms with warmth and wit how you can go home again, and shows that you can take the girl out of New Jersey, place her in the fun and sun of California, but you can't take New Jersey out of the girl. Sit a spell, play the Platters or Nat King Cole's A Blossom Fell, and read how sweetly Barbara casts her spell of eternal, heartfelt longing-her unforgettable hiraeth-for her old New Jersey hearth. She builds vignettes of long-gone family and friends-sometimes ominous-and as fragile and fleeting as snowflakes. Barbara's tender recollections break bread with her reader as she shares her intimate word album and gently invites us to come look at another kind of beauty, and asks in her poem, Holding On: How can you toss out a memory?
