5.0 out of 5 stars You will find your own grandmother within these pages., May 6, 1998

This review is from: Our Grandmothers (Hardcover)

I'm a 46 year old man that doesn't get emotional but this book constantly brought back memories of my grandmother. Over and over again I saw her reflected in the stories I read. Memories I had long forgotten came back to bring me smiles and tears. The photographs were exceptional in their reflection of the authors feelings. Thank you Linda for finding so many outstanding authors to share with us.

This review is from: Our Grandmothers: Loving Portraits by 74 Granddaughters (Hardcover)

Five years ago I was shopping with my fiance' and happened upon this book in a local bookstore. I started to thumb through the pages and became entranced with the contents of the book. My fiance' found me a while later, reading with tears streaming down my face. I was embarassed and he was quite humored. My paternal grandmother had passed away a year earlier and I was so touched, so mesmorized by this book. I told him that I MUST purchase it. He then told me that I couldn't...because he had already purchased it for me as a surprise. He had found the book in the same store only the day before and knew that I would fall in love with it...and I did. My maternal grandmother passed away a few months ago...and I am now purchasing a 2nd copy for a cousin as a Christmas present. Kudos to Linda Sunshine...what a ray of sunshine this book has been for me. On a side note...I was pleasantly surprised to see an entry by Keri Picket on her grandmother, Josie. One of my all time favorite books is the one she wrote/documented, "Love In the 90s" regarding the love story of her grandparents...including photos and pesonal letters.
