Knowing Love is a series of meditations on living and loving. The stream of consciousness prose leads the reader along a path of loving acceptance. The book is dedicated to the author’s mother, Frances Virginia Norda. The author writes, She encouraged me to write my books and provided me a ‘Tree of Love’. She had encouraged me to write my book on New Milford’s History. She always encouraged me to write my loving thoughts in a poignant way. She always kept my manuscript on her bedside table. What love she had. I felt so special. She opened her heart to my writing and she loved life. I felt like she wrote this book through me. Mother, I love you. Your legacy lives on-thank you.
