It's heartbreaking now that we're losing so many of our sisters from the Second Wave:

We still have their work however. That can stay with us.

Gosh, strange cooincidence - I just put one of her books on my Amazon wishlist today - slightly to admit I'd never heard of her, but heard an interview on US public radio today with an author who walked the whole 1800 mile Coastal Pacific Trail on her own, and Rich's 'Dream of a Common Language' was the only book she kept with her the entire time. I wanted to see what was so inspirational about it - the reviews certainly make it worth buying. I have a feeling I am about to learn a whole lot more about this lady.

Oh! The world feels so much poorer for this sad news. We are lucky that her incredible writing stays with us.
