Synopsis

I'd Rather Roll Than Rattle Way back in the day, words like "fat" and "obese" were not used to describe a lady who was overweight. The usual adjectives of choice were: stout, portly, or rotund. My grandma Kingston was most definitely in that category. She would get a bit miffed when someone would call her status to her attention. But she would really react when she saw a woman who was inordinately thin. It would flat make her mad. "Just look at her: a bag of bones! When she walks you can hear her rattle. I'll tell you this for sure I'd rather roll than rattle!" She lived to be 92 and never did rattle! Hence, the book's title.
