Well then, this series call Grandma's Story Cupboard is for you. Our first set of stories are holiday ones. For Thanksgiving - "No Thanksgiving for Me" is about Tommy the turkey, who thinks he is the smartest turkey in the flock. But he quickly finds out that maybe he isn't so smart after all. As Thanksgiving approaches quickly, he learns how selfish he is. But will Tommy get his act together before Thanksgiving? Our Christmas Story is about a dream Grandma had that lasted three nights in a row. Grandma said, "It was like being in a movie. It was so real, and all of us were in it." Grandma was praying for an idea that she could do to help with the bills. This is what God showed her and that she needed to make it into a book. It takes place in Maine where the Hollister Family has inherited a large farm. This beautiful farm had a home that was large enough for all of us to stay in one place for Christmas. Great Grandma's dream was to have everyone together for Christmas one last time. They met the caretaker Ernest who looks like a skinny Santa. Ernest shares how this farm is the main hub for this little farming community. Just as everyone arrived as a blizzard struck. Then, what was supposed to be a quiet family Christmas ended up being one of miracles of the Christmas season. We all agreed that we had entertained an angel unaware. Hebrew 13:2 "Do not forget to show hospitably to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. We learned to share what we had with strangers who showed us true kindness of neighbors. Hope these two holiday stories brighten your holidays. Please take time and enjoy your family at this wonderful time of year.

Download or read book House of Glass written by Hadley Freeman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer Hadley Freeman investigates her family’s secret history in this “exceptional” (The Washington Post) “masterpiece” (The Daily Telegraph) uncovering a story that spans a century, two World Wars, and three generations. Hadley Freeman knew her grandmother Sara lived in France just as Hitler started to gain power, but rarely did anyone in her family talk about it. Long after her grandmother’s death, she found a shoebox tucked in the closet containing photographs of her grandmother with a mysterious stranger, a cryptic telegram from the Red Cross, and a drawing signed by Picasso. This discovery sent Freeman on a decade-long quest to uncover the significance of these keepsakes, taking her from Picasso’s archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island to Auschwitz. Freeman pieces together the puzzle of her family’s past, discovering more about the lives of her grandmother and her three brothers, Jacques, Henri, and Alex. Their stories sometimes typical, sometimes astonishing—reveal the broad range of experiences of Eastern European Jews during the Holocaust. This “frightening, inspiring, and cautionary” (Kirkus Reviews) family saga is filled with extraordinary twists, vivid characters, and famous cameos, illuminating the Jewish and immigrant experience in the World War II era. Reviewers have asked: “is there a better book about being Jewish?” (The Daily Telegraph) Addressing themes of assimilation, identity, and home, House of Glass is “a triumph” (The Bookseller) and a powerful story about the past that echoes issues that remain relevant today.
