With the men all gone off to fight, the women are left to run the farms. There’s plenty for the boy to do—trying to help with the chores, getting to know the dog, and the horses, cows, pigs, and chickens. But when his cousin Kristina goes into labor, he can’t do a thing. Instead, the house fills with women come to help and to wait, and to work on a quilt together. This is no common, everyday quilt, but one that contains all the stories of the boy’s family. The quilt tells the truth, past and future: of happiness, courage, and pain; of the greatest joy, and the greatest loss. And as they wait, the women share these memorable stories with the boy.

Download or read book Grandma Stories written by Sarah Morgan Carswell and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the quilt is true. I wrote these stories several years ago from a grandchild's perspective, but, they are about my mother. This series of books is to honor her memory. She had a faith filled home and taught our family how to live a simple, caring life with faith and love. She was recycling long before it was popular. She made her own garden, canned her food, made our clothes and her home goods. She was gentle, humble and she set an example of how we all should live.
