Many thanks to Glacier Hills Senior Living Community in Ann Arbor for hosting my talk on 10/22/24 about writing legacy documents — life reviews and ethical wills — for the family, friends, and colleagues who are important to us. Responding to “prompts,” people shared stories about the people, places, and events in their lives, and the lessons they learned from their experiences. The session featured both serious reflection and appreciative laughter. Two of my novels, The Great Stork Derby and The Sister Knot, now in the Glacier Hills library, offer further opportunities to read about the lives and lessons learned by the novels’ characters: a widowed father trying to make amends with his estranged children, and WWII orphans whose friendship survives a lifetime of challenges.
