If I Had My Life to Live Over: I Would Pick More Daisies - Hardcover
Synopsis
Focuses on the decisions, public and private, that shape women's lives. Inspired by the title poem in which an older woman looks back on a life sensibly lived and wishes she had 'eaten more ice cream and less beans', anthologist Sandra Martz captures the experiences of women, young and old, as they make choices that form the tapestry of their lives. Some of the writers speak of lost opportunities, but more often than not these women proclaim a sense of satisfaction with their lives and would not change a single breathless moment.

About the Author
Sandra Kay Martz founded Papier-Mache Press in 1984. Papier-Mache Press was known for publishing accessible books which presented important social issues through enduring works of beauty, grace, and strength, and created a bridge of understanding between the mainstream audience and those who might not otherwise be heard. As an editor and publisher, she has compiled several successful Papier-Mache Press anthologies including If I Had My Life to Live Over I Would Pick More Daisies, and I Am Becoming the Woman I've Wanted, a book that explores the powerful feelings women have about their bodies.
From the Back Cover
Inspired by the eloquent words of Nadine Stair, this absorbing collection is about women making choices. Some speak of lost opportunities: "I wait too long; I watch the moment pass / till only ashes stir upon the grass" or things they would do differently: "If I could begin again... let me begin again by being a better daughter". More often, however, these women proclaim a sense of satisfaction with their lives and "would not change a single breathless moment".
