A keepsake for the whole family

Gathered from Dad's poetry and Mom's journals, this collection reflects a life of faith, family, hard work, and humor. Inside are tender poems about motherhood and marriage, reflections on the gospel and the temple, and playful verses about neighbors, grandchildren, and family moments.

Mom's journal entries appear just as she wrote them, with her own dashes and phrasing, so her voice comes through. Seasonal poems celebrate Christmas and other holidays, and the closing section brings together poetry from the next generation.

"A story in every grain of life."
