Bea Goodere, in her 90's, writes every day, and has fascinating stories to tell. Born in Yonkers, New York, to parents who divorced when she was a child, Bea was raised by her working mother and Nana, her maternal grandmother. She never saw her father again. The only contact she had with him came through a psychic, long after he died. Bea's stories are a rich combination of fact and fiction, bringing readers back to a world when The Greatest Generation fought and died in World War II, the nation lived through rationing and hardships, and family was everything. Bea's Catholic upbringing helped form her values, along with the influence of her Nana. To this day, Bea lives by Nana's wise words. As an adult, Bea survived family tragedies, financial difficulties, divorce, and the challenges of reinventing her life when the only other option was to give up. Fortunately for us, Bea is no quitter. You'll enjoy these short stories and essays. They'll make you laugh and cry.
