"After a bout with cancer and becoming a widow, I found myself
silent for more than a year, with nothing to say as a writer.
Having previously written two dozen published books for children
and young adults, I now thought I would never write again. It has
been twelve years since I joined a support group so that I might be
able to function.. Writing about my journey as a single woman and
cancer survivor has helped me keep going. Every change in my new
life soon became an essay, each victory or defeat a reason to dash
to the computer and share the experience with someone who might
benefit from my discoveries.. I am not the only one keeping it
going in this book. Each week I meet with a dozen others who are
keeping it going also. Most are over seventy years old and have
survived health issues and personal life changes. All are choosing
to write about them. In their writings, I find wisdom, humor,
inspiration, frustration, and just plain good story telling. Each
week we sit at a round table with notebooks and pens in hand. Each
week we do not know what will be said or what ideas will be
presented. Our writing adventure continues as it has for the past
several years. We gain support and courage from each other as we
travel down the road of unknowns. We invite you to join us."
Harriet May Savitz is a contributor to fourteen Chicken Soup for
the Soul books. Her book, "Run, Don't Walk," was made into an ABC
Afterschool Special produced by Henry Winkler. Her essays appear in
newspapers and magazines.
