Magical Acts in Two Suitcases
2020
Spanning over three decades, these deeply felt personal essays sprinkle humor and pathos in equal measure on such topics as heroism, aging, racism, family life, the romance of fishing and baseball, grieving, guilt, personal redemption, preserving memories – and most of all, magic: the magical acts of everyday living that we perform for each other.
