A book signing will be held Saturday for “Slice of Life — Memories of Mother.”
The book, by Alice Frank, pays tribute to former Globe columnist and food editor Willa Younger.
Younger began her column “Idea Corner” in 1977. The column began with a humorous story from her life and included recipes submitted by Globe readers. The column was later syndicated and renamed “Slice of Life.”
She was named food editor in 1985. She coordinated the Joplin Globe Cooking Contest and produced the annual Holiday Cookbook, which provided entry recipes.
She retired in 1997 and became the state coordinator for communications in Oklahoma for AARP. She died in 2005.
The book compiles a number of Younger’s columns along with accompanying essays by Frank that look back as she appreciates her mother’s wit and wisdom.
“Sharing this collection of columns will once again remind readers to see the humor in everyday life or to reflect on their own special memories,” Frank said in a news release.
Frank, who lives in Austin, Texas, will hold a book signing from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday at Hastings, 526 S. Range Line Road.
“Slice of Life — Memories of Mother” can also be purchased online at www.keenhousepublishing.com
