This book is a collection of memories and glimpses of an
extraordinarily down-to-earth and insightful woman, my Nana. It
looks back and forward , piecing together words, images and
experiences of growing up and spending Summer holidays with her in
New York, where she sourced, and seeded hope, vitality and sage
advice in me. Now in my sixties, I am passing on that wisdom.
Everyone loves a grandparent, or wishes they had one to remember
and be loved by , perhaps this collection of short stories, flashes
of insight, moments that stayed and grew into knowledge and
understanding, will give them a Nana to cherish, or add to the
memories of their own wise ones, who have gone before them in
faith. These memories are funny, truthful, probing, realistic;
laced with grief, awe, and grace. She lived for eighty-six years;
an immigrant, widowed young. I knew her and yet barely knew her as
only a child knows, remembers, pieces together and then realises
there are huge pieces missing. The book is short, but layered , a
book to be savored, shared, and passed around.
