My Son Dave (The Duck): A Story About Loving and Letting Go (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990464648)

Much of Plynn Gutman's creative inspiration has come from the natural world. In addition to Dave the Duck's deep influence in her life, several other animal friends have captured her heart and made their way onto the pages of her poems and stories like one of her beloved cats, Lucius, a poem in West Wind Review 2011, and Sarah the Chicken in the University of Guelph, Ontario Veterinary College's 150th Anniversary Anthology, Animal Companions, Animal Lovers, Animal Doctors. Plynn's writing has appeared in numerous literary journals over the past twelve years and she is the author of a memoir about her maternal grandmother, The Work of Her Hands: A Prairie Woman's Life in Remembrances and Recipes, the e-version memoir of My Son Dave (the Duck) and Your Journal Companion: 365 Writing Prompts to Heighten Awareness of Self and Others. Plynn is the owner and facilitator of Your Liminal Space Retreats and has a private practice as an Integrated-Life Coach and Energy Practitioner. Of course, she loves animals of every size, shape and specie, and is deeply dedicated to her husband, two sons and two lovely cats. A transplanted Canadian, Plynn makes her home in Arizona, USA.
