Mary Gentry said in a "Thurston Talk" article “It’s about me, but I hope when you read it, you’ll realize it is about you, as well.” Gentry clarifies, “As it wanders through the ordinary events of my life – walking dogs, making pie, cleaning behind the clothes dryer – I trust you will see yourself and smile. We certainly did in the studio and hope you will take a look and smile yourself. Mary read several of her stories to a live audience in the Panorama TV studio.
