About

What if joy could be found in the smallest details of daily life? Sea Crow Press's new release, An Eye for Joy: Noticing the Good World Everywhere by Peg Guilfoyle, proves it can. This charming, eccentric collection of short, sparkling true stories invites readers to notice the beauty all around, even in challenging times. Each essay is a "diamond necklace" of moments that celebrate wonder, curiosity, and the deep human impulse toward joy. With wit, warmth, and heart, the book evokes the observational brilliance of E.B. White, the humor of Erma Bombeck, and the insight of Anne Fadiman, making it perfect for fans of Ross Gay's The Book of Delights
