Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"To Carlie–With Love–From Grandad" is more than simply a memoir handed down from grandfather to granddaughter. The book is a chronicle of a life fully experienced—a series of sequentially intertwined vignettes that reveal elements of magic and wonderment of the fascinating dance we know as the human experience.

It is a gentle reminder to the reader that through all the challenges and disappointments of life, it is absolutely impossible for you to be kicked out of the universe, because there is no place where Spirit leaves off and humankind begins.

More About the Author

Hi, thanks so much for checking out my Kindle listing, and for wanting to learn a bit about my background.

After 30 years as a university professor, my current career passion is offering a message of joy, hope and optimism during troubling times through keynoting professional conferences, posting a weekly inspirational blog, and writing books.

My home is a cabin nestled in the Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina shared with my wife, Annette and our two Labrador retriever lap beasts--a large black industrial model named Dozer (aka He Who Has Not Missed Many Meals), and a smaller, brown, highly opinionated auxiliary dog named Daisy (aka The Chosen One).

My hobbies include sport aviation, computer geeking, plunking on the ukulele, hiking with the aforementioned pooches, watching Texas Aggie football, and embarrassing my offspring.

Be well, do good work, keep in touch,
Ed

5.0 out of 5 stars To Carlie With Love, December 8, 2011

To Carlie With Love is an inspiring book written with love from a Grandfather to his Granddaughter sharing his life experiences as a young child who grows up into a wonderful Husband, Father and now Grandfather. Without giving the touching parts of this book away, it is a must for anyone who has children and wants them to know what life was like back then as we now say "The Good Ole Days". This would be a great stocking stuffer for the readers that want to read a book written with love, emotion and memories we all want to share with the author.

Excellently written, "To Carlie With Love" is a heartwarming and moving book. It's message of love relates to all ages. While I was reading this book, I re-experienced loving memories of my own grandparents and was filled with the delight and love of these relationships. Ed Kesgen is an excellent author and I will look forward to his next publication!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reading thoughts by a good friend, December 9, 2011

This review is from: To Carlie-With Love-From Grandad (Kindle Edition)

"To Carlie-With Love-From Grandad" was written by a long time and dear friend. That aside, the book was a joy to read because it allowed me to also celebrate the life of "Grandad", Ed Kesgen. Mr Kesgen's recollections, thoughts and observations reached deeply into my own life and caused many moments of self reflection and discussion with my family members. This is a warm book that would be enjoyed by any one who has been living in the 2nd half of the 20th century and now the 21st.
