Mutterings: by Jane Geigley Engel($20.99Value)

Description

A daughter’s tribute to her mother’s voice, a celebration of the wit, warmth, and wisdom that linger long after the words are written. Mutterings by Jane Geigley Engel is a tender, witty, and deeply human collection of one woman’s reflections on life, love, family, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments. Drawn from Jane Engel’s Facebook posts, shared faithfully over the years with humor, honesty, and heart, this book reads like a personal journal of a life fully observed. In her unmistakable voice, Jane captures everything from the nostalgia of her West Virginia hometown to the absurdities of modern life, from the ache of loss to the warmth of home cooking and the wonder of autumn light. Her words, once shared among friends, now find their lasting home in these pages. After her passing in 2023, her daughter, Julie Fulks, lovingly gathered and organized these writings into themed chapters that preserve Jane’s wit, wisdom, and storytelling for future generations. The result is part memoir, part time capsule, and part love letter to the simple joys that make a life meaningful. Whether you knew Jane personally, grew up in the same small town, or simply appreciate luminous, heartfelt writing, Mutterings invites you to pause, smile, and remember what it means to live an ordinary life with extraordinary grace.
