ÒThe Dirt On JaneÓ is Jane FishmanÕs anti-memoir. ItÕs a tale of aging, a style of gardening, a rage at having to wear two pairs of glasses to read a map in the car. ItÕs a meditation in maintaining a sense of humor when visiting her mother in the assisted living facility and hearing someone ask, ÒWhen did you move in?Ó ItÕs a prayer for patience when her mother says, ÒAll I want for MotherÕs Day is for you to polish your nails with some Iced Mocha I bought on sale.Ó ItÕs a look at a life that is haphazard, loopy, fun and always in need of straightening. As a judge in the Savannah Garden Exposition once said of her ten-foot-by-twelve-foot faux garden entry: ÒDelightful! Shows one doesn't have to spend a lot of money to enjoy gardening. Lacks cohesiveness.Ó For twenty years Jane Fishman has written a human interest column for the Savannah Morning News. She is the author of ÒEveryoneÕs Gotta Be Somewhere,Ó a collection of newspaper columns. She lives in Savannah, Georgia. ISBN 978-1-4675-0404-1
