Lie Still

From a young girl who cherishes her grandmother's old violin to a woman diagnosed with cancer, Lie Still takes you on an intimate journey through life with all its challenges, joys, disappointments and hopes. Ultimately, we see that victory lies in the way we take on life, the way we love others, the way we love ourselves. "The Heartless Words" examines the impact of alcoholism, "Transports" looks at a woman trying to escape a hopeless marriage, "Jack Harrington's Word" reveals the far-reaching effect of using the wrong word. All of Nancy Coolidge's stories and poems deal with the daunting task of letting go—whether it's love, friendship, dreams, or death.Lie Still is a perfect reminder that a life lived will contain sorrow as well as joy, hope as well as disappointment, success as well as failure. It is our reaction to the many facets of life that determine how we live and how we die. This book is written with humor, candor, and honesty. You won't be disappointed in the journey.
