Extra Innings by Doris Grumbach

It records an eventful and quotidian year crowded with literary pleasures and pains, the natural beauties and social particulars of life in coastal Maine, the mingled joys and affronts of travel to New York, Washington, Mexico, and the looming presence of illness and mortality. It is, finally, a book about the successful search for home and for inward peace.
"Immensely likable. . there is a rhythm to this journal that is not unlike narrative poetry, a quality to the prose that is both vivid and passionate." -- Michael Dorris - Los Angeles Times
