Traveling the Neighborhood
Across the Street, Around the Corner… A Road Home is a wisdom-packed, funny collection of neighborhood life that divides itself into two parts and then weaves them back together. First, it captures the free-wheeling life of an Altadena childhood of the 60’s. How the growing up with so much freedom, in an adventure-laden neighborhood and habitated by a crazy-quilt of lovable odd-balls, colored Mary Lea’s desire to create something akin to this, wherever she was, for the rest of her life. Altadena always offered these free-wheeling qualities, right up to the moment it burned down in the Eaton Fire. Part two is present day neighborhood life in our over-busy world. Through walks and talks and 35 years of living on the same block, Mary Lea aims to articulate the magic ingredients that make for a cherished place to live.
