This book is a collection of memories and glimpses of an extraordinarily down-to-earth and insightful woman, the author's 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 inspired hope and vitality with her sage advice. Everyone loves a grandparent, or wishes they had one to remember and be loved by. This collection of short stories, flashes of insight, moments that grew into knowledge and understanding, presents a Nana to cherish, who adds to the memories of our own wise ones, who have gone before us in faith.
