Truly a Treasure
This book, beautifully read and with such heart, is a treasure in itself. With humor, real emotion, and experiences we can all relate to on a basic level, it demonstrates unforgettably the incredible value of remembering the lives of our parents, grandparents, and siblings. Without saying it straight out, it reminds us also that we are all, at our core, part of each other - good, bad, whether times are easy or tough. This is a truth both achingly simple and powerfully comforting.
If you are a huge stickler for production quality, you may have a hard time getting used to the simplicity of this recording, but you'd be crazy not to let yourself get into it. It's absolutely wonderful. Enjoy!

absolutely wonderful
These are the kind of stories that my grandmother told and I really love and appreciate them now that I am 41. I wish that she would put out a lot of these audiobooks with her stories. They are magnificent.

Grew up with Jackie's voice.
I grew up in North Carolina, where Jackie Torrance was a staple in the libraries. I was lucky enough to hear her tell some of these stories in person at a library conference when I was young, and I remember hearing some of these there. (particularly the first one, about her grandmother's apron) She was a master storyteller. Her voice invites you in. It's a voice bursting with love. I look forward to sharing these stories with my baby. Thank you, Jackie.
