Product Description
Forrest (amazed): The fluorescent bulb fell out of your closet light in the night. Me (nonchalant): It was thrown. Forrest (hesitantly): Why? (I'm not certain I want to know why) Me (righteous): Because I hate it; it doesn't work. It has never worked. Forrest (incredulous): Did you throw it on the floor so I would slip on it and fall? Me (lying): No, of course not. (Well, yeah-duh!) Forrest (truly perplexed): Why did you throw it then? (Why do I continue to ask questions I don't want to know the answer to?) Me (being female): It's a reminder for me to replace the whole thing. (I live with a person who continually forgets to fix my light, so I must play the -martyr and I had to climb up the closet shelving to reach it too, which makes you a doubly evil person.) Forrest (the escape): If you remind me later, I'll take care of it. (No thought, whatsoever) Me, shaking my head: (the bulb on the floor was your reminder.) Okay, thanks. (Tonight it goes under your pillow!) ABOUT THE AUTHOR: L.E. Hughes is a columnist, writer, nurse and business owner. She writes her bi-monthly column Away with Words from Diamond Corner Bed & Breakfast, her turn-of-the-century farmhouse in the northwestern mountains of Maine, where the world comes to her with their stories in tow. Anne lived in fear and trepidation. Her determination and ingenuity in the face of adversity amazed me nearly as much as the number of years she suffered. What was her archenemy, her nemesis, the root of her daily struggles? A regurgitating garbage disposal. L.E. lives with Forrest, a Native American of the Penobscot Nation and daughter number three, Holland. She writes about the trials women, wives and mothers across the world experience.

 | Delightful Quick Read Feb 15, 2007 |
| I was captured from the very beginning to the very end, and couldn't put the book down until it was finished. The auther has a delightful way of sharing herself and her experiences with the reader. You'll feel like you have a new friend by the time you finish her book. | | | | A Delightful Little Book Sep 21, 2006 |
| What a delightful little book! Hughes has extraordinary insight into the human psyche, including her own. From her "View from the Corner" (the title fits perfectly} She sees the humor, absurdities, and sometimes pathos of behavior that most of us miss, and she shows them to us. | | | | A Refreshing Outlook on Life's Everyday Experiences Aug 31, 2006 |
| Ms. Hughes entertains her readers with a rich view of life's every day experiences and relationships with children, family, friends, patients, and those who come into her life as guests at her B&B. With a quick wit and wonderful sense of humor, the author delights us with her stories, some humorous; others quite sobering, that bring us back to reality. I will definitely read this book more than once! | | | | That's LIFE Aug 25, 2006 |
We lead different lives, but share the same life experiences. The difference between us ? L.E. Hughes is able to put the emotions,the memories,the lessons, the fears into words and give them a meaning.
SHE has written the book, but it is one I can share with my daughters, my best girlfriends, and tell them, "THIS is how I AM." | | | | If you love Erma Bombeck, you'll LOVE Lew-Ellyn Hughes and A View From the Corner Aug 22, 2006 |
| Within the 145 pages of this book of essays on life, life in Maine and "la vida loca," Ms Hughes will make you laugh, cry and cry with laughter. The comparisons to Bombeck are inevitable and enviable. Hughes writes with a flair that somehow encapsulates everyman (and woman) in her stories about relationships and the world we live in. I feel this is a book I could read over and over and over again. I know I will! | | | Write your own review about A View from the Corner
