has never stopped writing since. At her advanced age, she had no living

“We make such a fetish of the family. I think we’ve created a tremendous mythology

other kinds of troubles. Almost any well-run orphanage would be better than
some families I’ve known. There are countless unjust and narrow-minded
families, and parents who bring up children in hatred for reasons that are
invalid. Just being a family is not enough.” The Everglades: River of Grass by Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

This year I spent Thanksgiving with a local holocaust survivor and author’s home,
