Letters To My Granddaughter: A Grandmother's Gems Connecting Family, Community and Service Eleanor Curry

Without grandmothers or grandfathers, too many children from eighteen years old and younger would not receive the emotional support or have their basic needs met, which could contribute to them becoming healthy adult people. Letters To My Granddaughter focuses on the life of one family's journey from St. Louis, Missouri, to the housing projects of San Francisco, California. Eight years later, they moved to the suburbs of San Mateo County, California. Curry remains steadfast to her granddaughter's question, by sharing her early years, falling in love, learning about the duties of a wife and mother, becoming a Christian, and how choices were made to protect their children as they were growing into adult. There were times when it was hard, yet they stayed on their course. An interesting and enlightening section unfolds in 'Family Adventures' where Danielle's three aunts, her Dad and four uncles write her letters too.
