Under the Eaves, Reflections of An Ordinary Life is the account of a little girl growing up during the forty's and fifty's, then entering the sometimes frightening and other times funny years of the teens and finally takes us along on the journey into adulthood. Evie Michaud has the knack of painting a picture so familiar to all of us that we feel ourselves being drawn in to each new escapade. Her characters come to life and her descriptions of her surroundings remind us of our lives and the generations of memories linking us to our past. It is the kind of book that makes you want make a cup of tea and curl up on the couch. Evie has always been interested in writing. Throughout her varied careers, writing has always played an important role. In times of great happiness, deepest despair or just everyday happenings, Evie picks up her pen and begins her voyage through the world of words. Through her essays, Evie takes what is ordinary in our lives and transforms it and the reader into something extraordinary.
