Eloquent, elegant and insightful, Priscilla
Dann-Courtney blends the heart of a mother, wife and
daughter with the training of a psychologist to get
under our skin and tell us how we really feel -- and
does it all with fewer than 650 words. She's a treasure.
--
Barbara Ellis, the Denver Post
We all are transformed by the relationships we form and
nurture around us. These moving essays by a mother and
psychotherapist address timeless issues of family life.
Priscilla Dann-Courtney's stories about the intricacies
of everyday life -- as a wife, as a mom, as a daughter
-- are by turn poignant and funny. Her lyrical writing
style gently guides us through insightful stories about
everyday life, children, parents, and pets, and the full
range of human emotions .
The issues she addresses are very much with us
today, and always will be as long as we have families.
You’ll find this book is both a comfort and a
blessing.
Bill O'Hanlon,
author of Do One
Thing Different and
Write is a Verb
Reading Priscilla Dann-Courtney's personal anecdotes
and observations is like listening to soothing music or
eating the best comfort food. Her lyrical writing style
gently guides us through her insightful stories about
everyday life, children, parents, and pets, and the full
range of human emotions.

the Soul
Priscilla Dann-Courtney's essays are as addictive
as the buttered bagels she writes about. With her
psychologist’s mind, she nails the often conflicting
emotions so intrinsically linked with family life today.
But what blows her writing into the literary
stratosphere is the poetry in these gleanings, a
metaphoric vision that infuses many a dark situation
with a sense of calm and well-being. What a magician!
