Book Description
A celebration of family, culture, and the enduring bond between generations Sadie’s grandmother is studying art and invites Sadie to learn and share her passion. But Sadie’s grandmother passes on more than her love of art to her grandchild; she also shares her knowledge of Jewish cultural traditions. Sadie learns about the meaning of “chai”—the Hebrew word for life—and the significance of the lucky number eighteen. Her grandmother will soon graduate from college, so Sadie commits herself to finding a perfect way to celebrate with a gift that combines her love of art and newly learned traditions. Readers will appreciate the relationship at the heart of the story in which a passion for art and cultural traditions are lovingly shared between the generations. Eighteen Flowers for Grandma is where love, tradition, and creativity intersect; it will leave an indelible mark on the hearts of readers young and old. Backmatter includes additional information about several Jewish cultural references found in the book, the Hebrew alphabet, and a note about the author’s inspiration for the story.

Donnie and Jean
Author: Ph. D. Samuel D. G. Heath
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059529166X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
Donnie and Jean was a time of great transition for our nation, one in which there was no television, and radio and Hollywood were the main sources of both entertainment and news defining what would later be called "The Great Generation." Comic books and the funny papers were war oriented and children were ready to defend America against all invaders; while adults fought the war, children played at war. Donnie and Jean is more than a story of two twelve year old children meeting and beginning to learn what it is to love; they were born into a generation that epitomized the best of what America was during that era when the leaders of America were trusted, when teachers and police were the friends of children. In many ways it was an age of innocence lost and not to be recovered, but recalled here in the story of these two children.

Mosaics of Mary

Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1468520733
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Mosaics of Mary is a compulation of poems I have written over the past seven years. This book is a reflection of years of hard work I have gone through in order to understand and accept being an abandoned child. Writing poetry has given me an outlet that I did not have as a child. My goal in releasing this book is to have a voice. It is not my intention to cause harm or intentionally hurt others. Some of the poems are painful where as others are fun and random. Life is not perfect, nor is this first piece of work I am releasing . It will not speak to everyone but I hope that if just one poem speaks to someone who is hurting then the risk I have taken in putting my work out there will be worth it.
