Still, Lucy can’t help but feel that she’s unwittingly stumbled into an entirely new life — new house, new city, new baby — and she struggles to navigate the journey from adventurous love to young parent. In her nearby nursing fa- cility, Elsie traces the years she spent in her beloved house, where she too trans- formed from a naïve newly- wed into a wife and mother, and eventually, a widow. Gradually, the boundary be- tween present and past be- comes more porous for her — and for Lucy — because the house has secrets of its own, and its rooms seem to share memories from Elsie’s life with Lucy. Through the richly in- tertwined narratives of two women from different gen- erations, Ashley Hay weaves an intricate, bighearted tale of the many small decisions — the invisible moments — that come to make a life. Luminous and deeply af- fecting, “A Hundred Small Lessons” is a story of what it means to be human, and how a place can transform who we are. It’s about a house that be- comes much more than a home, and the shifting iden- tities of mother and daughter; father and son. Above all else, it’s a story of the surprising and miraculous ways that our lives intersect with those who come before us, and those who follow. Vision Quest’s ‘Get Wild’ series presents kayaking programs Vision Quest, in conjunc- tion with the Siuslaw Public Library, will be presenting two programs related to kayaking on Saturday, Dec. 1. The first program, at 10 a.m., features local kayaker Mary Nulty discussing “Kay- aking Around Florence.” Nulty is an avid paddler and photographer who has travelled all the local waters since 1994. She will highlight local paddling locations, dif- ferent types of water craft, and how to safely transport them. She will also share tips about boating safety, specif- ically related to weather and tidal conditions. The second program at 1:30 p.m. features author Su- san Conrad who wrote the book “Inside: One Woman’s Journey Through the In- side Passage.” Conrad will be showing photos from her 2010 solo journey of 1,200 miles from Anacortes, Wash., up through the Pas- sage to Alaska, and recount- ing tales of whales, bears, quirky people and spectac- ular scenery. Both programs are free and open to the gen- eral public.
