Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Each chapter includes stories of things we hold on to, whether it is an actual object like rosary beads or a prayer card, or intangible things such as love, our realizations, or a sense of humor. It's what we hold on to through both good and bad times. In all 43 essays, I recount stories about my parents and friends, siblings and grandmothers, marriage and motherhood, animals and teaching, and death and regret. As a late Baby Boomer, it's my perspective of the values learned in growing up in a rural town, of being raised by a father who escaped the Soviet Invasion, and how those experiences affected me. I believe that Baby Boomers and early Generation X readers will connect to these stories. Anyone who grew up in rural America will appreciate the simpleness of life as described in these stories. Readers who have experienced immigration or know of someone who has will relate to my stories about my father's escape from Hungary during the 1956 Uprising. My hope is that you will both laugh and cry at these poignant moments we experience in life. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
