The Bookcase

BOOK DESCRIPTIONWhat is this book about? "This and that, here and there", her childhood, her travels, her husband and children, told with verve and shared with joy. There is always something remarkable lurking just ahead, down the road, around a bend, inside the history of a little-known culture, into the background or the mirror image that enhances as much as it reveals. Much of the book is set in Los Angeles where she was born and grew up, a great deal has to do with Mexico where she lives, "the world beyond the mirror", of mysteries and secrets and shifting shadows, "where the sun shines and the wind blows". Carol Miller is probably one of the most interesting women of her time, with a life right out of a fairy tale. This is her most personal book to date.
