“Cathy Salter has an artist’s eye, a poet’s ear, and a lover’s heart.  Her essays invite the reader to partake of a wondrous life filled with the joys of country walks, great books, travel to distant locales, and good food shared with dear friends.  Pour yourself a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and settle in by the fire.  You won’t find a more rewarding place to spend time than Boomerang Creek.”

— Matthew Goodman bestselling author of Eighty Days:  Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland’s History Making Race around the World, and The City Game:  Triumph, Scandal, and A Legendary Basketball Team)

”I’d almost rather see the world through a beautifully clear, unselfconscious page of prose like that of Cathy Salter’s than to see the world itself.  This is a fine book, and a gift to its readers.” 

— Ted Kooser, 2004-2006 U.S. Poet Laureate

“...(Those) who wish to swim in uncharted waters must read Cathy Salter’s lovely chronicle of days filled with the richness, surprises, and downright love of country living and world travel in all their glory. ...She has created a kind of Tao of Writing (thank you, Mr. Theroux) which can be used as a springboard for one’s own personal note-taking.  Have paper and pen at the ready as you take in these informed and intimate glimpses into a very abundant life.” 

— Suzanne Dunaway, Author/Illustrator of two cookbooks--No Need to Knead and Rome, at Home.
