"The world of Addie Katz was profoundly and magically altered by an unexpected trip to Japan. She was a keen observer of the world around her and the people in it. Fortunately for us, she was also a writer of extraordinary skill and perception, and her prose and poetry are filled with joy, honesty, love and compassion. Skillfully organized in a narrative crafted by her daughter Susan, Addie's body of work paints a vivid portrait of a wise and remarkable woman who made a most remarkable journey."
