Keeping the Feast, a review
Saturday, February 5th, 2011
Paula Butturini writes an exceptionally beautiful story in KEEPING THE FEAST. Rich in family, friendship, love and the delights of FOOD! Out in paperback this month, KEEPING THE FEAST is a painfully true story of dedication, and healing.
Author Paula Butturini is a former news journalist who has written for news services around the world, including the Chicago Tribune. When she re-married in middle-age to a fellow reporter, life seemed perfect – until he was shot during an assignment and nearly killed.
After Paula had already lost her own mother to suicidal depression, she refused to allow her husband’s immense trauma ruin his life. KEEPING THE FEAST is Paula’s memoir of how she created her own prescription for her husband’s depression, made from food, friends, family, and constant love.
Hello my friends! I just finished this incredible, true story of love and adventure I thought my baby boomer friends would enjoy hearing about! The book is called “Crossing the Heart of Africa” and it’s written by Julian Smith, an award-winning writer specializing in travel and science. His articles and photographs have appeared in Smithsonian, Wired, Outside, National Geographic Traveler, New Scientist, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and US News & World Report.
