Three Strange Years: Daily Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Three copies of a book are laid on the ground, surrounded by dry leaves. Two of the books are wearing face masks, one a homemade cloth mask and the other a blue disposable mask. The book in the middle is uncovered and can be seen clearly. The book cover features strawberries against a background of COVID virus, with the words "Three Strange Years: Daily Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic."

My pandemic diary is now available in paperback! I kept the diary on social media while COVID-19 was upending everything, and it seemed important to preserve it, so it's now available on Amazon here. Obviously I've been working on this one for a while, since I started writing it at the end of March 2020. Originally it was simply meant to fight loneliness while everything was shut down, but it grew into a detailed look at daily life over three historic and really strange years. At heart it's a celebration of family love and simple pleasures--novice gardening and other new hobbies, socializing at a distance, and being there for each other the best way we knew how. The ups and downs of life during the pandemic, captured in real time, are never to be forgotten.
