Editor's Thoughts: For Seniors Only - Nostalgic Stories of Love, Family and Relationships by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein & Debbie Storz Higgins

 


Since I worked as an editor and contributor to this collection, I didn't feel it appropriate to review this book of stories about love, family, and relationships. Instead, I'll give you some insight into how For Seniors Only - Nostalgic Stories of Love, Family and Relationships came about and how we put it together. 

During the pandemic, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein and Debbie Storz Higgins, along with some others, took to telling stories on Old Time Radio. Without censoring or format, they wandered through different aspects of their lives, from personal relationships, to memories of days gone by, to silly stories of moments they had been caught up in. 

Last year, Dr. Barbara, who I consider a dear friend, approached me about compiling the stories into a collection meant to warm the heart and make you smile. Debbie and Barbara have some wonderful stories. We all led different lives, but we were able to find a connection in all our stories. And as a special treat, readers will find a story by Barbara's mother, Bernice Becker, included.
