My grandmother was a compassionate, fun-loving, no-nonsense woman with firm beliefs and values and she was never at a loss for words to express them. Her words of wisdom have instructed, encouraged and inspired me to become the self-confident, respectful woman I am today. The lessons I learned at Granny's kitchen table will make you laugh and cry as you reminisce about the things your mother, grandmother or special elder taught you. This fun, quick-read also makes a great gift for the special young women in your life who need to be taught some "old school" lessons.
