Nana's Words: A Collection of Poems About What Really Matters Hardcover – December 19, 2024

During the recent pandemic, two sisters set out to publish a book of their grandmother's poetry. From opposite sides of the country, virtual meetings were penned into otherwise empty appointment pages. They found poems which, for over 30 years, had been forgotten in dusty keepsake boxes and desk files. Poems were read, reread, and took on new meaning in a pandemic era. At the same time, the sisters' relationship was enriched, and wisdom was gained. The project was initially started to complete their grandmother's dream of being a published author, however it became clear there was a bigger purpose in play. "Nana Margaret" lived a life of tragedies, including enduring the 1918 pandemic.
