How Do You Answer? (Paperback)

"Here are poems of loss and longing, laced with the sensory images of childhood in the American Midwest-full of dust and tangles, sweet berry pies and Grospapa. From her beginnings in a small river town, through worldwide travels with her doctor husband, the raising of children, and finally returning home to the Iowa countryside, Norma Stempel Hodges speaks with the exuberance of youth, and the wisdom of age. Like her doctor husband, healing is Hodges' specialty-not physical healing, but a healing of the heart."-Donna Biffar, author of DOWN: POEMS AND OTHER SYNDROMES
