("Winding Roads -- Treasures From an Attic in New England"...)
"Winding Roads -- Treasures From an Attic in New England" is a selected collection of essays and stories from the author's weekly newspaper column called "Winding Roads," which has been running in the Citizen News in New Fairfield, Connecticut, for the past twelve years. "Treasures From an Attic in New England" includes everything from books to read, shows to see, things to do and places to avoid, to "The Fountain of Youth," "Feng Shui," "The Fifty-Hafty Solution to Guilt-Free Spending," "The Good Wife's Guide", and "Sears' Kit Houses." It is an easy-to-read account of every day life that moves gracefully from narrative to humor and back again, bursting with laughter and love of home and family.

At last! A book for the bedside table, a treat to look forward to at the end of the day. "Winding Roads" by Helen Powers is the cream of a ten-year crop of newspaper columns, originally appearing in the "Citizen News" in New Fairfield Connecticut, as a relaxing escape from today's stressful living. Helen Powers' light-hearted humor is expressed in the day-to-day situations that confront women of all ages. Her entertaining subjects include "The Queen Elizabeth Cure," "Sixty and Single," "What to Do With the Empty Nest," and "The Ultimate Revenge." Most of all, however, Ms Powers writes about "home" with a heart-warming enthusiasm. This is a book of values and laughter as lasting as time itself. It is a redeeming quality on the American scene, a relaxing interlude that draws on the past to establish the framework for a fulfilling future.
