REFLECTIONS OF A SILVER
BELL* BY JO LYNN BRYAN RUSIN
In this collection of essays and memories, Jo
Rusin reminds us that a good dose of humor and perspective can be
the prescription for what ails you. Whether you're from the south
or not, you'll find these thoughts universal in their ability to pick
you up and keep you going with grace and beauty especially when you've
become what southerners refer to as a "woman of a certain age". If
you can't spend a week at a spa, treat yourself to a few hours of
reading this book. You'll come away relaxed with a fresh look at life
and a positive appreciation of yourself as a unique work of art. A
perfect hostess or holiday gift, less expensive than flowers, embroidered
guest towels, or gift certificates, your friends will treasure it
and read it again and again. Trade paperback, 88 pages, retail $10.95

be done. Hardy gives readers depth and insight into the life of an
active and teaching surgeon. His down to earth story of how to balance
