Unexpectedly divorced after 43 years, Ms. Steen entered the world of the transient. Disabled by disease, recapturing her many years as a performer, composer, and teacher on the piano was impossible. However, instead of giving up during her twenty months of dependency on the graces of strangers and family, this remarkable woman was armed with three lethal weapons: her laptop, her imagination, and her sense of humor. Ms. Steen's engaging humor has touched the lives of those who opened their doors to her, the medical personnel who remain in her life, and those around the world who visit her website: lmsteen.com or her Facebook Page. Her website features her photography, some prose, a few short stories, and her thoughts on life and illness.
