Through the eyes and ears of a very young Shawn O'Connor, the story
of his grandmother, Emily Romain, and her ten children unfolds
through the early decades of the twentieth century to the
mid-1960's.
Shawn tells how Emily Roemain came to America with just her
steamer trunk and hopes and dreams. Though she met the love of her
life and began to achieve her American dream, the untimely deaths
of a child and her beloved husband almost stopped her in her
tracks.
Shawn goes on to describe how Emily and her ten children would
not give up.No matter what setback occurred, Emily used humor, hard
work, and prayer to make it through the tough times.
This example provided the basis for the numerous stories that
Shawn conveys. Each story is a tribute to both his family and and
the power of positive thinking, and just when young Shawn, himself,
is ready to give up, the example provided by his grandmother
provides the strength for him to go on!
