Hi, Diane!
ReplyDeleteIt's entirely MY pleasure. I am now reading your book for the SECOND time. I am so amazed that you were able to take snippets of your grandmother's life, plus your memories and those of several family members, plus the account of a doctor's interview, and piece them together into such a compelling, poignant and interesting account of a loving, complex, loyal, strong, and fascinating woman.
This story shows interesting vignettes of how people lived in the past, struggling with extreme poverty and living gracefully in the midst of it, always hanging on to their strong faith and love of family. There were heartbreaks and cute little pranks. It was true-to-life throughout, plus delightfully honest and real. I enjoyed it immensely. I could tell it was written from the heart, and by the end, I felt I knew the essence of Rose, a true lady.
I hope more people will read this. If they don't, they won't know what they're missing. What a shame...and a loss, that would be.
