Book Description

The author wrote these seven stories over several years for his grandchildren. Each has a happy ending with a little moral message. These stories vary from children and lost dogs to young men on their horses looking for gold. These stories will take the reader from Poletown, a Detroit neighborhood of Polish immigrants, to the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory, to a New York art gallery, and to points in between. The timelines are from the 1870s to the present. How we face the challenges that life gives us is what is most important.
