What if a life could be told in fragments—each shaped by a single letter? Patricia Ross’ “From There to Here” is an inventive, lyrical memoir that unfolds through twenty-seven intimate essays (the letter “T” gets two), each anchored in a letter of the alphabet. From A for “Adaptable” to Z for “Zen”, the author stitches together a life in glimpses, moments, and memory-scapes. These alphabetic meditations explore the beauty and mess of becoming—touching on identity, love, loss, and wonder. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, these short glimpses of a life that has spanned over eight decades create a portrait of a creative, resilient, courageous woman who is unafraid to reveal her flaws along with her attributes. “From There to Here” is a sometimes fun, sometimes painful account of a life well-lived, challenges met, and victories won. About the Author: PATRICIA ROSS is a writer who is trying to figure out how to make “Writer” start with a “P” having been a pianist, photographer and psychotherapist. She is 86 and lives with her small white dog in a cottage in the woods in Marin County, California.
