PINE CONES and PEARLS

About the Book

Just as pine cones and pearls are a contrast of textures, so is this book, a contrast of subjects and thoughts presented in a variety of styles. Some people will connect with the material and others may not.

I hope as you read this book, you will connect with something in a poem or essay. In our hearts, we each have a story to tell and I encourage you as I was encouraged, to share that story, that poem or those thoughts in some way with another person just as I have done in Pine Cones and Pearls.

Over the years I have “dabbled” in writing poetry and short stories. Most of them had been placed in a book, tucked away in a closet and forgotten. This book is the result of cleaning out the closet. These writings are a combination of old and new material that depict experiences occurring in my life.

About the Author

Written under the pen name, Kalli Lynn Rice, in honor of her mother Callie Rice Prickett, whose formal education was limited but whose wisdom far exceeded any classroom, Grace Prickett Luneau’s first book Pine Cones and Pearls is a collection of poems and essays that express her feelings about life and “country ways.” Born and reared on a farm in Madison, Georgia, her writings reflect the values learned from these experiences. The author currently lives in Alexandria, Louisiana and is employed as an Infection Prevention nurse manager. gapeaches2@sudenlink.net
