Holding Time by Catherine Panebianco

Holding Time is a love story about family. It might be my family's story, but it's really every family's story. Weddings, road trips, babies, vacations, game nights - these everyday snapshots provide a roadmap to a life. By using my dad's Kodak slides taken in the 1950s and 60s and physically holding them in my current landscape, the photographs in Holding Time literally meld my past with my present. I think that Holding Time gives a nostalgic nod to my family's past, but also creates a place where everyone can celebrate their own family memories and how those memories might affect their present day. I like to say that Holding Time is a gentle reminder that you are always carrying your past into your present and your loved ones will always remain close to you. Holding Time was published by Yoffy Press in March 2022, includes a lovely story by writer Irene Alison, and is available at www.yoffypress.com.
