“I feel somehow that of all the writing I am doing, my diary is the most important.” So wrote the beloved and bestselling author, poet, and playwright Carol Lynn Pearson in her 1979 diary. Several years before, she recorded, “I feel the imperative of history. . . . Add that to my being a household word to many and I cannot escape the feeling that in many years there might be a number of people interested in these pages.” That time has now come. Unbeknownst to almost everyone but herself, Pearson kept a near-daily diary since she was a teenager, recording her remarkable story in the context of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Mormon America. In this first of a four-volume series, P...
Poems focusing on the expanded visions of life.
Rarely does an author say so much in so few words.Over thirty years ago Carol Lynn Pearson's husband, Gerald, insisted they self-publish her first book of poetry when publisher after publisher told her Poetry doesn't sell. Gerald's faith was well founded. Pearson's accessible, profound poems have moved millions -- in particular the countless women who have found in her their voice. Carol Lynn deals with universal themes in honest and compelling ways, and while her poetry is not esoteric, neither is it thin or light. Picture Window offers a compilation of Pearson's best-loved poems from four previously published volumes. In addition to the table of contents, where her poems are for the first time grouped categorically, Picture Window also offers alphabetical indexes by title, by first line, and by key words and topics.
Help little ones learn to show love for the people around them, no matter how they look, sound, pray, love, or think. Beloved author of The Lesson and Will You Still Be My Daughter, Carol Lynn Pearson is known for her heartfelt, sometimes tear-jerking poetry and stories. Her newest title, illustrating her popular song written for children in 1987, will enchant children with a sweet, tender poem about loving and accepting others, no matter what they look like, where they come from, or what their age and abilities are.
"POETRY WON'T SELL," said local publishers when Carol Lynn Pearson and her husband, Gerald, presented them with the manuscript of Beginnings in 1968. So they published two thousand copies themselves, believing that they had their lifetime supply of wedding presents. NEARLY FOUR DECADES and 300,000 volumes later, Carol Lynn's poetry has been internationally acclaimed and reprinted in Ann Landers' newspaper column, A Second Helping of Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul, and college literary textbooks such as Houghton Mifflin's Structure and Meaning: An Introduction to Literature. BUT MORE IMPORTANT, her poems have carved themselves into the hearts of her loyal following, giving inspiration, smiles, and tears and always corresponding with a particular talk, lesson, letter, or personal need. Familiar life situations become vividly meaningful through Carol Lynn's magic of insight and imagery. Beginnings & Beyond offers Carol Lynn's most popular poems to still another generation to enjoy and treasure.
Husband and wife James and Della hardly speak to each other anymore. He's always in that dratted garage, while she finds sanctuary in her garden. Since Grandpa died, nothing has really been the same---nothing, that is, until the letter. The beautiful, miraculous letter, lost in the mail and suspended in time---the letter that just might save Christmas for their family.
