The Peanut Butter Jelly Gang and Grandpa's Gift explores the love that grandparents and grandchildren have for each other. Grandpa travels to the flea market each Saturday. However, this Saturday is different than others, and the gift he brings back is priceless!

This book is written for five beloved grandchildren in the hope they will gain insight into and inspiration from a life well-lived. The collected stories, testimonies of a faith in God that has offered love and depth to both the writer and the people he writes about, and the love affair that has existed between the author and his bride of over a half-century, make for a compelling story for anyone’s young adult children or grandchildren. The author shares this work with the hope some might find it entertaining, while others might discover insight into Faith and Grace. The stories shared are of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things in their lives. Perhaps there may be a lesson and a blessing within these pages for readers of all ages.

My grandfather grew up in Arizona in the 1920s and 1930s. One weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor he joined the Navy. During the summer of 2012, my mother visited him and recorded his stories about growing up, World War II, and his time as an employee at the Pacific Bell Telephone Company. This is the history of the 20th century as he lived it. These are his words.

During the Depression, eleven-year-old Carrie makes her annual summer visit to her relatives in the Blue Ridge Mountains and watches her determined grandfather fight against the government's attempt to take his farm land for a new national park.

Memoirs of a New England Lass is an eclectic collection of memoirs about growing up in New England in the 1950s through the early 1970s. From nature walks at an early age with her father to her first day of teaching high school English at the age of twenty-one, the author reflects on her true life experiences. You may laugh, or you may cry at the life lessons the author learns in the varied situations in which she finds herself. The section entitled Questions to Ponder at the end of each selection provides readers with an opportunity to think back on their lives and encourages them to compose their own life stories.
