with a Masters in Counseling, a published poet with three books to her name
where a word carries a great deal of weight and meaning, has turned her talents to writing children’s fiction.
The story revolves around Bridget, who resents visiting a nursing home where Great Gramps resides,
whose appearance, actions and reactions are loosely based on the author’s own father.
Great Gramps doesn’t remember my name, and he falls asleep when I’m talking to him.
But when Great Gramps discovers his prize possession, a Silver Star awarded for Bravery in Battle missing,
Bridget develops sleuthing skills with the assistance of Great Gramps, who no longer falls asleep
because there is a reason to stay awake, and the Senior residents fly into action;
some like the retired Policeman, who suddenly remembers his duty to the public to apprehend the criminal.
Couple that with a Parrot, who responds, “it’s right under your nose,” makes for an intriguing mystery for the young and the older.
A must read for families, who think their loved ones in Nursing Homes are only interested in a comfortable existence
without the stimulation necessary to feel Alive and Useful again.ver menos
