Living With Grace Sheryl Rooth

My grandmother taught me the F-word. Four of them actually. My grandmother Grace, taught me more about food, family, friendship and faith than any book ever did. Gram's lessons were clear. Your family comes first. Your faith will bring the friendships both with God and with others. The food will bring them all together, no matter what their beliefs. Like a good pecan pie, the more nuts you can crowd together in one place, the crunchier it will be. (this analogy should not be used if you are allergic to nuts). When Gram passed away, I was lost. Her gift to me was a lifetime of scrapbooks, diaries, photographs and treasures that led me to discover a whole new side to the woman I only thought I knew. These are the heartfelt stories, devotionals, sermons, pictures and of course, the delicious recipes that she cherished the most, folded together with a little humour to keep it sweet. This book is whatever you wish it to be. A recipe book. A devotional. A history lesson or just a funny stroll down nostalgia lane. The purpose is to deliver happiness. I like these F-words. They elicit a pretty great response and you don't ever need to lift a finger to get it.
