<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-SIZE: 16px" class=MsoNormal>Author Donna
Rankin Love,<SPAN> </SPAN>born with crippled feet, has walked 5000 miles
for peace. She will speak at Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino on Friday, September
21, at 6:30 p.m. Through her three books, all published since her 80<SUP
style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">th</SUP> birthday, she will inspire her audience.</P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-SIZE: 16px" class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-SIZE: 16px" class=MsoNormal>Her first book,
<I>Tell Me a Story,</I> started as a Christmas gift for her family. The 42 short
stories comprise a memoir. Love discovered that<SPAN> </SPAN>memories and
short stories are a perfect match – and writing memoirs can be less
intimidating. Love reminds us, “You don’t have to start at the beginning.”</P>

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-SIZE: 16px" class=MsoNormal><I>To Make the
House Complete</I> chronicles 14 years as Love moves into four houses and a
marriage, each needing work. Ranging from two casas in Mexico to a farm house in
Oregon to a beach cottage in Capitola, California, plus a 10-year second
marriage, she recounts her efforts to make them, and her life, better. In the
end, she’s keeping the cottage.</P>

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-SIZE: 16px" class=MsoNormal><I>Walking for Our
Lives </I><SPAN> </SPAN>tells of three historic peace marches of the 1980s
totaling over 5,000 miles. The first involved walking 3,700 miles from Los
Angeles to Washington, DC in the Great Peace March of 1986. The following year,
230 Americans landed in Leningrad (St Petersburg) and walked with 230 Soviets to
Moscow. Then Soviets traveled for a peace walk in the United States. Love says,
“I grew from a complacent homemaker into a passionate peacemaker, and into a
life where anything is possible and one person does make a difference.”</P>

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-SIZE: 16px" class=MsoNormal>Donna Love
believes, “Writing memoir contributes to personal peace, peace within families,
and in communities.” She will discuss memoir writing, read excerpts from
<I>Walking for Our Lives</I>, and sign purchased books. </P>
