Memories of a Grateful Grandchild

About the Book

A young boy discovers the joy of life with his grandparents, both in the city and on a farm. Filled with the fun of childhood, his life must negotiate growing up amidst the love and kindness of his elders and their flaws and foibles with his own wild antics adding a measure of turbulence. Experiencing the gift of identity shared with him, the boy must learn to accept people as they are, not as he wants them to be. This book celebrates the joy of childhood, the importance of grandparents, and the struggle to understand the human condition.
