Description
by Joanne Gillen Cortese (Author)
Part 1 of this book relates oral history shared repeatedly by siblings of the author over many years. With the mobility of today's society, recent and contemporary history is not likely to be communicated orally with the same vigor as previous generations. Therefore, this written record, Decades of Blessings, will allow future generations to appreciate the heritage that has been so rich and so meaningful to their predecessors. Part 2 relates milestones, joys, and sorrows of the author, hoping that reading these experiences will speak positively to the reader.
