Synopsis "A Journey With Daisy: Belonging is a Blessing (in English)"
On a seasonably warm day in April, author Sandra C. Johnston walked into Daisy's Treasure Trove in White Rock, British Columbia. At the time, Johnston faced a crossroads in her life, and that visit to Daisy's thrift store changed her life's outlook. In this memoir, she narrates the story of how she met ninety-one-year-old Daisy Walls, the lessons she learned, and how the relationship affected her. A Journey with Daisy not only describes Johnston's experiences volunteering in the store-where every day was a rich experience with both the customers and employees-but also demonstrates the impact Daisy had as an elder mentor as she modeled kindness, tenacity, compassion, and courage. A combination of prose, poetry, and reflection, A Journey with Daisy narrates a journey of self-discovery and spiritual and personal growth. It encourages you to live passionately, gives you the breath to speak what you know, delivers nourishing soul food, and inspires you with the courage to face what you see without looking away from it.
