Description

A Welcoming Life captures in photographs and text the remarkable life of one of America's most beloved writers, M.F.K. Fisher. The physical and emotional landscapes of Fisher's life are here in image and anecdote: her childhood in a Quaker town in southern California just after the turn of the century; her sensual and intellectual awakening as a young woman in France in the 1930s; the uneven terrain of her adult life as writer, wife, daughter, parent; and finally the refuge of northern California's wine country, where Fisher spent her last years.
