This tender family memoir is a shining example of how the simple act of sharing childhood memories can bring families back together.
Written in the spirit of love, respect, and, above all, forgiveness, A Time To Remember contains remarkably detailed stories by author Allen W. Van Osdol Jr.
Van Osdol recounts his very early childhood and various antics he was lucky enough to survive, along with the youthful events that helped shape his life.
His stories are followed by the independently written narratives of each of his four younger sisters, in order of their ages.
This moving compilation shows how perspectives change according to the age of the observer. But more importantly, A Time To Remember highlights how we can learn to understand each other and open the door to communication between siblings-and generations.
