Book Cover & Preview Text
“If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times to come straight home from school. You have work to do and your lessons to catch up on. I’m tired of saying the same thing over and over. Just wait til I get you home.” Cally figured she would hear those words bouncing around inside her head for the rest of her life.
When all was said and done, Daddy held her on his lap and gently rubbed her aching legs until she fell asleep. “My poor little Rosebud,” he murmured over and over, kissing the top of her head.
Jack found solace at the spring, wading in the cool water, kicking up the rotting leaves just the way his mother had done so long ago. It occurred to him that it just wasn’t worth going to school if he had to pay such a price.

About the Book
My Granny Wiggins died before I was born, so I have spent my lifetime wondering how it might have been to be loved by her, to be taught by her, to share little secrets and snuggle at the end of the day. It just wasn’t meant to be. So, I listened and read and researched until I found a most remarkable woman who I am proud to call Granny. This is her story.
