The Sugar's at the Bottom of the Cup - Hardcover

This book is an extremely hoest account of all Elda went through, both good and bad, and how these experiences shaped her into a woman who "finally learned to savor the small daily miracles of love, joy, forgiveness, appreciation and gratitude." "...an egnaging personal story, told with such honesty and depth that it illuminates universal themes of aspiration, compassion, dignity, and hope. Jim Rawls, Reviews Editor for California History, the magazine of the California Historical Society
