Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite

Loretta Pitilli speaks from the depth of her soul, sharing her experiences throughout her lifetime. She successfully shares her memories and emotions. One of the first things I grasped when I read Creating Our Pilgrimage was Pitilli’s appreciation of life; this is evident in her poem “Each Time We Breathe” and “Another Day Has Dawned.” “Mother and Daughter” expresses the turbulent relationship of a mother and daughter during the teen years. The daughter is straining to become her own independent person while the mother is watching her child change into a young woman. The print is my only criticism. While not unpleasant to the eye, the thin, light, small print is difficult to see and read. Perhaps the print is a way of saying I am only giving you a peek at what is very private thoughts. Ms. Pitilli’s paintings are beautifully done; they hint the undercurrents of her thoughts. I enjoyed both the paintings and poetry. The pages of Creating Our Pilgrimage are a testament to the talent of Loretta Pitilli.
