title: A London Scrapbook
author:  Polly Grose 
description: Polly Grose is truly a citizen of the world. Her deep and abiding engagement with her native Minnesota combined with the adventures of her London years make her story compelling an distinctive. Her love and support for the arts has made her a legend in her own community. --Joe Dowling, Director, Guthrie Theater<br /><br />This is a story of love and spunk. Her British husband's mastery of the art of scrapbooking--preserving mementoes around themes--helped inspire Polly Grose's high energy, openhearted memoir of her midlife marriage and move from the Midwest to London. This memoir, like creative scrapbooking, is about getting the most out of life and then making sense of it all. Polly Grose, in her fourth book, has done this superbly. --Jane Thomas Noland, author, former senior editor of CompCare Publishers
