Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much would you give to talk quietly for just one hour with your great-grandmother? Most likely, almost anything. But Time rushes by like a hurtide, cutting us off from those who went before. It bears away the old voices and the old ways. Bears away what we loved, and what we realize, too late, we still desperately need. This book's a bridge to that past. In a series of interviews conducted in the late 1970's and early 1980's, eight elderly people recount marriage, and children; of hurricanes, depressions, wars and death; faith doubt, love, and fear. They watched the Wright brothers fly; saw U-boats torpedo ships offshore; dealt with blindness and heartbreak and shipwreck. Now, near the ends of their voyagers, they linger for a little while to tell us of The Way Things Were. And they'll tell us more...if we'll listen. With a little urging, they'll share their thoughts on the ultimate questions; good and evil, youth and age, triumph and suffering. From the first work, they cast a spell.
