"STORIES FOR EMMA" In Print at Last!

As soon as Emma, my granddaughter, was able to listen, I told her stories about her mom, aunt, grandparents and other family members. Once she could talk, she asked to have them repeated time and time again. The tales my mother told to our family were treasures, but were never written. Realizing the importance of family legends lost,  I began putting words on paper.  This small book is a collection of some of Emma's favorites. The project is ongoing. I am thrilled to have this small book (including some photos) in print. While it's not going to win a Nobel Prize, it will be appreciated by my family and maybe by others who remember the mid 1900's. Perhaps the stories will prompt memories of your family in past times.
