book review by Olivia Farr"Christmas is a collision and a
kaleidoscope...
a collage, and...
a moveable feast."Prepare to take a photographic journey through
the winter season with all its wonders and glories in this lovely
book that combines poetry and photography. Always venturing towards
the silver lining, the text guides the reader through the joys and
pitfalls of the winter season to reflect on everyday blessings. For
instance, Joy points out that taxes may be higher, but this is so
that they can lead to retirement benefits, guiding the reader to
view this unpleasant task through a more positive lens.The poetic
writing is combined with perfectly paired photographs that bring to
life the essence of the words and evoke a myriad of emotions. Joy
expertly guides the reader through a meditative and pensive look at
the winter season, counting blessings and finding the light among
even the seemingly darkest moments. Although winter may bring snow,
awkward greetings, and burnt toast, Joy invites us to reconsider
these moments for their beauty and the goodness that they may also
carry. When combined with evocative photography, this book is truly
a pleasure to explore.Full of beautiful images, expressive
language, and lovely sentiments, this book shines with the grace
and splendor of winter. Joy truly embodies her name as she leads
the reader through the majesty of the holidays and the gifts of the
season. Whether a reader may already love winter or may prefer
other seasons, this book illuminates the everyday majesty of winter
and its many elements. Joy has created a lovely work that could be
used as a devotional, a guide for meditation, or simply as a
visually pleasing journey.
