This book is dedicated to the memory of two important people:
Minnie Geisler, my grandmother, who gave me just a little
of her boundless energy, and Warren Barnes, my husband's
grandfather, who showed me that storytelling in the family
circle is still alive if we have the patience to listen.
It is also dedicated to those who have supported me emotionally during
all my years of professional storytelling: my ever-loving husband, Judson
Farrar; the women of my retreat; and my friends Suzi, Darrel, and
Caitlin Westmoreland.
