Grandma's Charms
Author: Stephanie Trolle
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1467840971
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
This is a biography story about my Grandmother Friedemann. She was proud of her gold charm bracelet on which she had a charm for every member of the family...except for me. She was mean-spirited but had a powerful personality. She wreaked havoc everywhere she went. As a young adult, she was told she would be unable to walk after breaking her hip. She defied her doctors and walked anyway. She also sewed her skirts to hide her limp. She was too proud to let anyone see any flaws. I always wanted to be with her and go on adventures with her. Never boring, always controversial, she was alluring and charming. I wrote this book to show my youngest sister and brother what she was like as she died at the age of 58 in 1969, several years before they were born.
