Love, Lee

Is it possible to adequately convey to another our deepest feelings of love and appreciation? Can we express in a lighthearted way how much another's friendship is valued? Or let another know how they have touched our life? Love, Lee is a practicum in the art of gratitude as we read the words of the author. Written over a 40-year period, it ranges from notes of appreciation the author wrote to her mother that were transcribed following her death, to love letters and humorous poems for her husband. The book includes a variety of writing styles, including song lyrics written for family members, storystreams-free-style verse created by the author in 2008-and fables written to commemorate friends' birthdays. A condolence letter sent to a friend during a time of mourning, memorial tributes developed for Celebrations of Life, and spiritual poems written for the Holiday Season, reflect the central theme of the book. Love, Lee reminds us of the importance of expressing our love, appreciation and gratitude in writing, as a lasting legacy, to those we care about.
