His cinematic prose takes readers along on his own journeys, to a dance school for pre-teens where nostalgia blooms and on a harrowing search for the survivors of a climbing trip on Mount Hood that claimed 13 lives a decade ago. Eileen McNamara of The Boston Globe reports on the dramas of ordinary life in columns that take readers to a hospital waiting room where loved ones wait and into her own backyard to remember the legacy of an elderly neighbor.

And he brings a reporter's eye for detail to a compelling story that reveals the larger meaning behind a Singing Christmas Tree at a local church.
