Quote by Mitchell Waldman

“This used to be a great country. Not now. Not anymore. I was laid off from the drugstore. Worked there almost thirty years. Worked my way up from the bottom, from Stock Boy to Manager, with little in the way of education -- I didn't graduate high school, was a semester shy when my dad got sick. I ran that damned place for the owner, Bud Wilkins. Then, when Bud retired, and had no one to carry on the business, this big chain bought him out and they discarded me like a badly worn sneaker." --From the story "After the Layoff," included in forthcoming story collection BROTHERS, FATHERS, AND OTHER STRANGERS”

“In the Garden of Healing ... The key point is the healing quality of Nature in the analogy of the long-forgotten garden once heroine Mary Lennox and her friends discover the door, find the key as well as the need for rejuvenation and start to bring it back to its former glory. It’s a story of hope, renewal and the rediscovery of humanity which is also so much needed in the bruised, battered and careworn world we find ourselves in today. I feel that ‘The Garden of Healing’ is a perfect fit for Forgive and for what we’re seeking to accomplish in this journey that we’re sharing together.”
