The setting is New England in the sixties. Life was different then. This story revolves around one family, especially the woman everyone called Grandma. She was a wonderful and multitalented lady. She always had the right answers. This is the author's story, but it is Grandma's story too. He asked her once if a movie director career had merit. She advised him to write a unique book first and remarked, "Surely with over seventeen years of formal education, you can write an interesting story." The author responded that most of his knowledge involves guns, reloading bullets, and ballistics. But write a book he did.
