"In The Forever Box, Kristin Clark Taylor embarks on a journey into the happiest days of her own youth. Through her refreshing voice as a seven-year-old girl in Detroit, she leads us through four summer days during which she visits four of her closest friends, elderly women who share their wisdom and wit--and each share treasured trinkets from their own past, beginning the process of memory-making that Taylor holds so dear. What she shares in her new book are not just the stories behind the trinkets, but the all-embracing concept of forever--a tangible, touchable permanence that can be joyfully and deliberately created by each and every one of us. Enchanting and magical in its universal appeal, The Forever Box teaches all of us how to weave our past with our present, making our own "tomorrows" something to cherish and remember forever"--
