Book excerpt: We are living in a day when grandparents are disposed of. They are sent away from those who love them to impersonal institutions where they are viewed as simply more needy people requiring care. But that's not the vision of ''honor thy father and thy mother'' which we seek to communicate. This uplifting book for children combats those ideas by teaching children by good example the gentle art of loving and caring for the elderly. Author Stephanie Cone has drawn upon her own personal experience of caring for her grandmother and teamed up with illustrator Matthew Sample to produce this beautiful book which will inspire your children to embrace the opportunity to care for Grandma or Grandpa. So come on a journey with young Albert, who finds out that Grandma's Moving In! and that you don't have to be a grown-up to help care for an aging loved one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Failure to remember our past mistakes may lead us to repeat them as history repeats itself over time. Resilience attempts to capture today’s most striking events and contrast them with historical events that may not have been recorded in our history books. By recounting challenges of history and of her own past, author Sylvia R. Moore hopes to inspire her immediate circle of loved ones in years to come. Resilience is the second in a series of planned novels to be created around personal testimonies, reflections, and the author’s life experiences as well as the lives characterized in the original Grandma's Bones novel. A firm believer in God, the author also includes faith-based and inspirational insights for encouragement throughout the novel. About the Author Sylvia R. Moore is a certified artist and enjoys writing as a professional hobby. She earned a diploma of completion in the Fundamentals of Art curriculum from the Art Instruction School of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sylvia is also a graduate with honors and a Degree in Business Administration from Strayer University. Within her immediate family of siblings, Sylvia is the first-ever published author. She is also a small business owner and president of her own company, The Carmen N. White Self-Help and Empowerment Organization LLC. After thirty-two years with USAID, Sylvia retired from Federal service in 2013 and began work on the Grandma’s Bones series. In retirement, her primary focus has been her family. Losing so many of her close relationships in recent years has given Sylvia an inward posture as Sylvia celebrates life with her beloved, immediate circle of family including her daughter, granddaughters and grandsons, her great granddaughter, siblings, sisters-daughters-and sons-in-law, as well as a host of stepsons, stepdaughters, and other extended family members and friends who are described in the book.

She teaches her how to measure water for rice. She tells her stories about growing up in China and together they savor the flavors of her childhood. Grandmother says goodbye when she drops Grace off at school every morning and hello when she picks her up at the end of the day. Suddenly, Grandmother stops walking Grace to and from school, and the door to her room stays closed. Father comes home early to make dinner, but the rice bowls stay full. One day, Grandmother’s room is empty. And soon after, she is buried. After the funeral, Grace’s mom turns on all the outside lights so that Grandmother’s spirit can find its way home for one final goodbye. Carmen Mok’s gentle illustrations show the love between a child and her grandmother in this story that will resonate with anyone who has lost a loved one.

Book excerpt: Somewhere along the way in life, you start to listen to that little voice. We are all on this journey together, growing, learning, and changing. As I stood in the kitchen of my dream home, looking out on the still water of the pond, I cried. Warm, salty tears streamed down my face as I told myself I could do this. Just start with one box; dont get overwhelmed. Pack one box; stay focused. I started packing Grandmas china first. As I packed the china set, a flood of memories came of the countless times I had carefully wrapped up each piece and placed them into the box. It was at that moment that I decided to write about this beautiful set of china, all the experiences and lessons I have learned along my journey. It is through my grandmothers journey that I have found my own strength and freedom. Twenty years and thirteen moves later, the china is the only set of dishes I own. When was the last time you used your china? What are you waiting for? Dont leave it locked up, waiting for a special occasion. Make today the special occasion you have been waiting for. In loving memory of my Grandma, Veronica Billetz (January 13, 1922-December 13, 2009)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Have you ever walked through a cemetery and read the headstones? All you see are the names, the day they were born, and the day they died. If you are anything like Debra Bright, you walk away wondering who they were or what they were like, and what was their life like. All you see is the beginning of their life and the end of their life, but what about the middle? That was the inspiration of Debra writing her grandmother’s story; she wanted to fill in the middle. The world has changed, people's interest has changed. In the past, stories about family were passed on from one generation to the next, but this is a practice that has faded into the past. The memory of a person now dies with the last person who actually knew that person. Afterward, it's like that person never existed. Writing this book, Debra’s grandmother’s memory will live forever. About the Author Debra Bright grew up in a time period when family was there for each other. No matter what, they opened their homes to each other. That was the case with Debra; she grew up without her mother in her life, so her father, who was single at the time, took his four-month-old daughter to live with his mother. She lived with her grandmother the first four years of her life. The bond that they had was more like that of a mother and daughter bond that lasted throughout her grandmother’s life. Because of her closeness with her grandmother, Debra was able to capture some of her memories and put them together for family who never had the opportunity to know her.

Book excerpt: I have always had people who knew my mother tell me that someday someone should write a book about that woman. While I sometimes had the inclination to write her story, I never seemed to find the time. However, I was forced to have a spinal fusion and the recovery period meant months away from my golf game. I now had the time to write my mothers story, which turned out to be my story as well. Because this would be a totally new venture for me, I was looking for help and input from many directions. Undoubtedly, Martha, my wife, was my biggest helper and supporter. I want to thank her for putting up with Jane and her bizarre ways all those years. Martha also has a degree in English, which came in very handy when editing the book. Next I would like to acknowledge our four children, Mark, Michael, John, and Shannon. They all had to deal with Jane. They reminded me of some of Janes eccentricities which are mentioned in this book. Most of all, I want the kids to know that I sincerely regret that Jane was not a better Grandma to them. Grandmas are wonderful people and our kids missed out on that joy in life. I appreciate the input of Rosie Browning, our friend and accomplished teacher of English, who read the first draft and made many suggestions that I welcomed and incorporated into the book. I would also like to thank Sandi Faber for her contribution and editing skills. Many thanks to Dee Domingo, our neighbor and computer guru. I could not have put this book on a flash drive without her. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge all of my friends who gave me such positive encouragement. My friend Jeanie Williamson suggested the title, and Nancy Campbell, my former secretary, shared some of her memories with me. Every story about Jane in this book is true and is written exactly as remembered by folks who dealt with her directly. To my brother-in-law Jerome Carrigan, my nephew Jay Carrigan and his wife Lisa, my niece Michele, and certainly John Nelson, I just want to say thanks for remembering.
