May: Reading With Rochelle Weinstein

May 31, 2025 | By | Reply More

Hello Readers & Friends,

April showers bring May flowers. Was that true in your neck of the words? We didn’t have much rain here in Miami, but the heat is on. Full blast. And as I sit at my writing desk preparing this column, surrounded by my hydrangea and stacks of books, I can’t help but notice the similarities between books and flowers. They each begin with a planted seed, elements nurture and challenge, and then they grow into something beautiful and worth sharing. May’s bouquet has some special blooms. See what I read and loved.
