A bank robbery ... thwarted. Wedding plans ... derailed. A pie ... missing. House guests ... entertained. Grandchildren ... loved beyond measure. They're all part of 105-year-old Frances Genovese's life story. This feisty Italian American great-grandmother has a lot of wisdom to share - from the funny to the touching to the inspirational. This book is her youngest grandson's effort to pass Frances's collected wisdom on to his infant son. Subjects include family tradition, food, education, duty, the value of a dollar, and the power of laughter. Running through all of this advice is the notion that we can't stand still - that we need to keep changing and moving with the world around us. People of Italian American heritage will find this material comforting and familiar. Grandparents of any culture will be reminded of their vital role. Adult children and grandchildren will see their favorite grandparents in this book -- and, with any luck, they'll be inspired to share their grandparents' values with future generations.
