Elegantly and invitingly written, Among Friends demonstrates the writer's belief that every lesson, every lecture listened to, must be interpreted into a personal dialect of human language, and that is what I keep trying to do.… (lisätietoja)

Personal memoirs of Fisher as she grew up in a non-Quaker family amid exclusively Quaker community. Known for her writings on cooking, this peek into her personal history makes fascinating reading. ( )
