From her life stories, Doris Markland has chosen the best and shares them easily with humor and depth. Read about
Her grandparents 1828-mile auto trip to California in 1926 (on dirt roads!)
How she won big prizes with 25 words or less
How she quit smoking and taught hundreds to quit
Her surprising connection to Hawaii
Our cultural journey from handshakes to hugs
The magic of family experience
The importance of spiritual heirlooms
The wisdom of children
The lighter side of aging

Her serious poetry is thoughtful, her light verse delightful. This is a side table book for easy reading moments, and a perfect gift for the one who says PLEASE, no more gifts unless it is small, can be used right now, or is something to eat. Youll find plenty of food for thought in this book as Doris Markland looks back over eighty-nine years of living, learning, laughing, loving and believing. As she says on her blog, her writing is for sharp older people and their middle-aged kids. It appeals to those who are religious, those who consider themselves spiritual and those who profess neither but have an interest in pursuing the meaning of life. A potpouri of gifts, this is a remarkable and soul-filled collection of writing.

In Playing Life By Ear, Doris Markland takes the reader through tender poignant moments in one chapter, heartwarming chuckles in another. Writing from the fullness of her heart, she draws her readers into a beautiful new friendship and inspires them to meet lifes challenges with understanding and enthusiasm.
