Gloria MacKay has thrown many sticks in her life, and skipped lots of stones—or at least tried. It is hard not to, loving as she does the mist enfolded, water wrapped Pacific Northwest
As a writer and broadcaster of commentaries and articles, she broadens her base and throws as far as she can at whatever pops in her head: she skips from magic to politics; from recipes to baseball; from men, women, and children to time marching on.
Throwing Sticks and Skipping Stones is a collection of her most entertaining, thought-provoking work. Unlike the stones she tries to skip at water's edge, these essays are as on the mark as a dart in a bull's eye.
As you read Throwing Sticks and Skipping Stones feel free to laugh; this is how a girl throws, and Gloria MacKay wouldn't have it any other way.
