    About this ebook

    And Then I Smiled: Reflections on a Life Not Yet Complete, finds grace in life's simplest moments. Through poems, inspiring essays and stories, readers journey from beaches, mountain streams and city parks to destinations in realms seldom visited, both inside and outside the physical world. Seemingly average moments of life create the backdrop for Miller's keen observations and thought provoking, often deeply personal essays.
