The tales in this collection are dedicated to her grandchildren, the eager listeners who encouraged her, again and again, to "tell me a story."

The author hopes that hidden in the stories are numerous family values: kindness, appreciation and care for one another, enjoyment of life, curiosity, education, adventure, humor...

These stories are part of her memoirs - preserving family events and giving something of herself, and her love, to her children and grandchildren...and you.
