Dorothy Canote has graced us with another lovely coffee table book of her experiences, thoughts and paintings. Her subjects range the full gamut from her family origins to research of her original home in Avalon, located in northern Missouri to Mexico to mitochondria and women in her life. Her love of family is evident from her depiction, both in words and watercolor painting (from memory) of her beloved Grandma Jesse and her home. Other subjects include travel stories from what she terms her "Middle Years," which showcase her rather fearless adventures during that time, such as caving, canoeing and all with complete with illustrations of the beauty found at those spots. We see her love of science in both her essays and illustrations.
