Steal Away

A poetry and prose collection that reflects a life loved and well-lived. With extensive travel, a satisfying career, and a beloved family, who could want more?

Brenda says,

When I reflect on my total life, I realize how truly fortunate I am to have had such a wonderful family. Starting at an early age with my grandmother, I always was surrounded with love. I was very special to my father. He would tell my mother " Don't disturb Brenda she's reading a book". At 13, he bought me my first horse in Galt. when we move to Colusa, he bought me another horse. I always had two horses so I could invite my friends to go riding. Looking back, I realized how spoiled I was. We were not a wealthy family, yet, I always had horses and took flying lessons. I guess that's not the life of a regular teenage girl. Later life brought adventure and love in all its phases. I wouldn't change a minute. This book tells of some of the extraordinary moments I enjoyed growing up in the 50s. My early life was not like any other time.

About the Author

"Being in my 80s isn't all that bad. What's kind of weird, is few people can relate to the life I have lived. More and more I see how unique my life was. I lived with no boundaries and sailed through life as if on a magic carpet ride. My poems and stories were written for my grandchildren." Brenda resides in California enjoying the good life, traveling, and family.
