Description: Sweet Adversity by Sandra Whitten Plant Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Sandra Whitten Plant has always looked around the next bend or over the next hill, occasionally getting snagged on an inconvenient fence or doused in a cold mountain stream. In the adventures of her decades-long writing career, she finds there is always a story to be told, whether affirming, informative or entertaining. She also knows that getting a good story out of a misadventure is sometimes the only comfort, lesson or hope. That curiosity-particularly about lifes possibilities and what drives our points of view, actions and reactions-is what courses through this collection of stories (and the accompanying guidance). Thus, youll find good at the heart of both the fiction and creative nonfiction tales found in Sweet Adversity. Enjoy Plants account of two children contending with neighborhood bullies and their experience with the woman next door who shares her gloomy home with a departed husband. Likewise, read about the Vietnam Wars impact on young sweethearts in the Tennessee hills and the belated happy ending of two old buddies who lived through that Cold War conflict. Youll also read about bigotry, puppy love, a beloved radio show and more. At the heart of this broad collection, youll find encouragement, laughter, tears and the reasons the authors dad and William Shakespeare encourage us all to take lessons from Sweet Adversity.Sandra Whitten Plant has been writing articles and stories for many years.
