Order Mary Buxton’s books
Life and love in the rural tidewater area of Virginia is a common thread that runs through nearly all of Mary Wakefield Buxton's books. The push and pull of old and new, North and South, man and woman, life and death, are discovered, illuminated and reflected upon in each of them. Such is the heart and soul of a writer.

La La Land, Part 4
Urbanna, Va.— This year’s discovery of the pen came to me while vacationing in Florida, or what I refer to as “La La Land.” I learned that La La Land is many things to many people. It is not just my escape to Florida each year; it is belief in escape or fantasy. Going off to La La Land is what forever attracts, if only because of the very human tendency to believe in fairy tales.

La La Land
Those who don’t own dogs probably don’t understand how much dog owners love them or how they worm their furry ways into our hearts. And the best part about them is dogs don’t come as Democrats or Republicans.
