About the Book
Exploring the world and how it shapes the people we are, author Adrienne Wolfert presents a collection of previously published insightful prose and poetry selected from her lifetime of writing.
7/Day World offers a memoir of the connections that make us human beings, including love, death, faith, human relationships, and joy. Wolfert delves into a wide range of storylines that provide an escape from the more mundane functions in today’s busy world, including the story of a judge, a view of the world through a baby’s eyes, a 1965 African American freedom march in Alabama, and the kidnapping of a beautiful woman in a grocery store.
Realistic and metaphysical, lyrical and fun, the short stories and poetry in this collection help us reconnect with the experiences and stories that have shaped us and our lifetime. It nudges memories, inspires introspection, and provides comfort.
