Hello! I’m Trish Lapidus, here to entertain you and offer support for your writing and all-around confidence. My two passions are the healing of earth and the healing of the family. My books, essays, poems, and workshops deal with these themes. I cheer and support other writers to get their own enthusiasms into print.

If you came here looking for a specific book, click on published books.

If you want to follow me on my blogs, here are the links:

Gideon’s River is a novel about a mother and son caught in the age-old family drama “the bully and the wimp.”  Will they break the pattern?

Swamp Walking Woman is an eco-fantasy, or tall tale, about a woman who helps her community take back their land and their power

Red Hen’s Daughters is a book of poems about farming life in the 1950s, a life to which many may wish to return.

Sweet Potato Suppers: A Yankee Woman Finds Salvation in a Hippie Village, a personal journey into connected living, is framed by the wider story of political oppression still apparent today in the Occupy Movement.

Encouragement for my writing sisters and brothers presents video clips from my memoir writing workshops, with tools for getting more deeply into the writing, information about personal and writing confidence, and patterns of growth.

May the sun shine on you and your beloveds.  Trish

Stephen Gaskin and soakers at the Gate.

The term “soakers” came from the idea of soaking up Farm ways prior to making a decision whether to stay.
