More... From the Heart

About the Book

In 2002, at age ninety-two, Helen Morris completed her autobiography, A Breath of Springtime. That volume included about one hundred poems written over a period of almost eighty years. No one expected her to improve upon and supplement that achievement. But she has continued to compose her thoughts to the delight of her multitude of friends and growing family. More . . . From the Heart continues the story of her life and times, spanning “every decade of the Twentieth Century and beyond.” This volume includes an astounding number of additional poems, some written long ago and many brand new, products of a youthful, gracious, loving nonagenarian who has made a real difference in more lives than she ever imagined.

About the Author

HELEN MORRIS tells the story of her life, spanning every decade of the twentieth century, and more. Born Helen Martha Specketer in 1909, she grew up in a thriving business section of northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She married David Morris of Collingdale, PA in 1931, and now has two sons, nine grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. Her parallel careers as writer, homemaker, and secretary often overlapped. Expressed in hundreds of poems, her sunny disposition and faith have earned her nom-de-plume, "Abretha Springtime". In 2002, she lives in Denver, NC, and is still writing.
