Sea Salt Eatery: Recipes to Enjoy Year-Round

A Hundred Lives Since Then

Award-winning writer Gail Rosenblum has gathered a collection of her wry observations on a host of experiences ranging from home remodeling and a parent's late-life romance to a child's show-and-tell and the neighborhood book club. Her humor is never far from the surface, but readers will also be struck, and moved, by her ability to expose the enduring significance of the most quotidian observations and events.

— Lorna Landvik, author of Patty Jane’s House of Curl and The Tall Pine Polka

“Gail Rosenblum is wise. She’s witty. And she can flat-out write.”

“Gail Rosenblum is a wise mom and friend. Funny too. Reading her delightful stories makes you feel good about the world.”

— Peg Meier, Minnesota author of Bring Warm Clothes and Wishing for a Snow Day

“Gail’s heartening tales of post-divorce family life are worth the price of the book and should be required reading for any divorcing parent or prospective step-parent.”

Gail is a popular guest at Twin Cities book clubs and she'd LOVE to come to yours! Gail is happy to read essays from her book and talk about the process of writing sometimes very personal essays. Gail does not charge for book club visits, but she is happy when you let her bring copies of her book to sell. And she's even happier if you pour her a glass of red wine! Interested?
