The Author has written re the memories and moments of a young woman as related and experienced. It begins with the earliest memories and continues to take the readers through a journey of culture, adolescence, sexuality, wilderness adventure, and loss. It is a story of quest in terms of self discovery, self fulfillment, and self determination. It is a presentation of the influences that have occurred and shaped and on occasion misshaped this life. My Pen and I depicts the feminine through the character, through interpersonal interactions and with nature as the matriarchal in a continual experience of lesson, joy, abandonment, and success. It will capture the readers with the story of risk and plight, literally fire and fish and instil within them a sense of the unreality in life's realities.
