D.L. Finn Recommended and rated this book Five Stars
This is a fantastic collection of family historical short stories and a few poems that were published and shared in the past. I’m glad I was able to read these heartfelt short reads from the past, and I found it so easy to relate to the stories.
.
I connected to many of the author’s personal narratives, including one about lilacs, which I can’t wait for them to bloom every year, too. Sky gazing is something I do, and I appreciate those meteor showers.
.
One story caught my eye about Jesse James and a horse. My family was from Missouri, and my great-grandmother had tales of the outlaw as well.
.
There is not only an understanding of time periods, from the depression to more recent times, but it is also beautifully written. It is a reminder of how our relatives survived hardship and how the little things in life bring so much joy.
.
I can highly recommend this nonfiction peek into our past.
Reasons I enjoyed this book: Easy-to-read, Entertaining, Original, Page-turner
