Linda Durrett is a 'third girl, puts plants in dirt, makes art, writes lots, tells truth, lips love lyrical words, laughs whilst belly dancing, kisses German Shepherd dog, bathes daily.' “As long as you have another breath, you have a story to tell.”

Barbara Peterson is a Chicago storyteller who in her spare time can be found tending her heirloom tomato garden or researching her family tree online, hoping to scale those pesky genealogical brick walls.
