A glorious, memorable brew of witty, irreverent, profoundly wise, and deeply sacred autobiographical tales, served up in Elizabeth's lyrical, insightful, humorous style. Here we have written proof that the divine Miss E is both a master storyteller and an unofficial national treasure."> "Elizabeth Ellis's gift, and a rare gift it is, is to illuminate the universal through her honest explorations of the deeply personal. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes powerful and moving, her stories are always true to her own journey and her own remarkable storyteller's voice." --Gayle Ross, Circle of Excellence storyteller and author, Cherokee Nation, OK> --Joseph Bruchac, Circle of Excellence storyteller and author, Greenfield Center, NY "From her childhood in Appalachia to her adult life in Texas, Elizabeth Ellis has soaked up life's big stories, re-shaped them with compassion and wisdom, and now retells them with humor, honesty, and gentleness. Readers and listeners can do no better than to sit at her feet, feeling glad to be human and ready to be kind." --Jimmy Neil Smith, Founder of the National Storytelling Festival (USA), Jonesborough, TN "Elizabeth Ellis is pure psychic of a storyteller. She somehow is able to always appropriately comfort the afflicted or afflict the comfortable...often at the same time!" --Donald Davis, Circle of Excellence storyteller and author, Ocracoke, NC
