Elva Anson

Because my friend, Kiyo Soto, started her memoir at age 80, maybe I could, too. I launched "Wondering Around God" five years later. Here is how one reviewer, Elisabeth Kersten, retired Director of Calif. Senate Office of Research, describes it. "Elva Anson is a first-rate storyteller. She knows just how much detail to give the reader to get you engaged. She packs in stories from every phase of her life. She really captures life in the Central Valley. This is the story of an amazing woman who found love, a teaching career, counseling profession, as well as unshakable faith and inner peace-- in spite of living during tumultuous times World War 2 and Korean War. Her humility, humor and resilience are truly remarkable and life affirming. She ends with practical aphorisms but her narrative is not pedantic, just real and honest.
