This book was born out of love for Bodkin Creek. It is a collection of vignettes from days gone by -- a much simpler time. Old photographs inspired daydreams about my childhood journey, both happy and sad, in and around what felt like "my Creek." It is a tomboy's account of a world of imagination and wonder as introduced by her doting grandfather -- a major influence in her young life. Ultimately, the tomboy's passion for her creek overflows into a love affair -- tomboy marries the love of her life after 44 years together after the 2013 Supreme Court's ruling made same sex marriage legal in California.
