Description
'But enough about me, ' writes Catherine Sevenau in Queen Bee. Yet we never can get enough of her reminisces, or of the center of her universe, a place she reminds us looks a lot like ours. There are the allowed blunders, the disallowed double-crosses, the mistakes she's turned to pure gold, the family history she views from fresh perspectives to make sense of it. Write on, Ms. Sevenau, you're tending a rich, rich hive. --Rebecca Lawton, author of Steelies and Other Endangered Species, Reading Water, and Junction, Utah Whenever Catherine Sevenau writes, she invariably shoots from the hip. The irony is that she nearly always hits the mark and leaves her reader nodding and saying yes, yes, yes. --Andy Weinberger, owner of Readers' Books, Sonoma, CA Catherine Sevenau is an opener of doors, irreverent teller of tales, and family scribe. Her first book, Passages from Behind These Doors, A Family Memoir, sets the pace for Queen Bee, Reflections on Life and Other Rude Awakenings. These 88 stories include posts from her blog, stories from her heart, and musings from her past. Join her on this roller coaster journey of reflections, as life, with its continual barrage of rude awakenings, is always a ride!
