Every human being longs to know where they came from...to know familial personality traits, talents, abilities and short comings, health issues, etc.This book is written to reveal the importance of a family tree revealing secrets in the attic found by a great grand daughter long after death of the grandmother. Found in the attic are written poems, stories, rough drafts. Some are well written and some appear as junk but each shows information a person would never talk to anyone about.This attic was in the grandmother's mind where secrets, hurts, pains, goals, misuses, hopes, joys are stored memories. Until one's attic is found, such person is never fully understood or known, which is after death. It becomes evident that the trunk of the family tree is the grandmother and the roots of that tree pass on to generations that follow. This is why the children should glean and write down many personal conversations with the elders in a family instead of avoiding their company.The author's hope is that her great granddaughter will find her attic and learn the great grandmother she never knew, a grandmother who loved her, prayed for her.
