As Good as a Feast: Essays on Enough - E-book - ePub

Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie series will no doubt be familiar with the phrase, "Enough is as a good as feast." Ma Ingalls would often utter these words to her children to remind them that they were well enough off, regardless of how little they possessed. The authors whose essays appear in this anthology explore the concept of "enough" from a variety of perspectives. One author explores psychological theories, while another draws her inspiration from the Bible.
One thread that runs through all of these essays is that of the compelling personal stories that have led the writers to learn that "enough" really is as good as a feast.
