A String of Beads Shirley Newman

"Did my grandmother write this book?" Perhaps one day my grandchildren when grown will ask this question. Although written for them, I believe it will have universal appeal, because what is honest and true comes through to the reader. Here we have "This Is Your Life" type stories which people will relate to, short stories strung together like a bead necklace. The little gold beads in between the larger ones are poems I have written over the years. Some of my writings will be sad, some will be humorous but all will be slices of life and parts of the heart that will touch everyone.
