Walking in Grandpa¿s Footsteps, is a book about ordinary events of life which contain the movement of the grace and mercy of God. The people and events described reflect a common ground that we all share with one another. Each vignette leads the reader into the world of the activity of God in scripture and in life. Where ever the two come together there the grace and mercy of God are applied. Therefore, to encounter God in the ordinary places of our life is to discover who we are and what God has called us to be. In this encounter with God, we discover our destiny and that God is constantly seeking to bring us from where we are to where we need to be. A hidden meaning of the book is that we do not journey alone, but that we are all connected in this adventure. We came from God and we will return to God. In our early stage of life, we followed someone. I have simply suggested that it might have been a close relative like grandpa. It reminds us that we have followed and some have followed us. As we journey through life, we leave behind our footprints.

It was a short walk to and from school every day, so each morning and evening Emily and I would walk side by side talking and chatting about nothing. As time went by it became an almost tradition that I would tell Emily a story on her way to school.At first the stories were short lasting only from our gate to classroom door, then gradually the stories got longer and longer so that I would have to pick up from where I had left off each day with another chapter. Some tales lasted a week, others went on for months. In between times I attempted to write down as much of the stories as I could remember so that later I could add in extra descriptions and interest.Each story was set in and around the same town which we called 'Tuther'. Tuther does not really exist, it is based on several different places where I have lived. Apart from the name, Tuther changes from story to story. Sometimes, it is in the middle of the countryside, another story will have it by the coast or somewhere entirely different, so please do not go searching around to find out where it is, because it doesn't!

Back in the 1960's tracing your Family Tree was just becoming an interesting hobby. Now, like a lazy little babbling stream merrily following the course of time, that stream has metamorphosed into a huge, directed waterfall and on to an almost out of control flood of family information. Between tracing records, having DNA tested, and the ever-increasing boundaries the Internet is providing, connecting with family one never even realized existed forty years ago, has become an absorbing, interesting avocation for everybody from school children to Seniors. Our family alone has over 14,000 leaves growing on one tree or another in such diverse places as England, Wales, Scandinavian Countries, Finland, USA and Canada. All of us looking to be connected to one another. One never knows where or when that connection may happen. It's just not the data that's important. Was that first traveller a thoughtful, directed man who only wanted a better life for himself and his family? Was he a rogue looking for a fast way out of town to places he would never be found? Did he leave because he was in trouble with the local constabulary, or was he looking for religious freedom? What about the women? Why did they come? What were their thoughts? What was in it for them? When you find the stories, they are fascinating! Our thirst for knowledge of these people is insatiable! Whether or not you are a leaf on one of our orchard of trees you may find a graft that will lead you to another branch where another leaf has been joined to one of our own. Come. Learn about us. Learn about yourself.

The Nim (North Fork Mono) Indians have lived for centuries in a remote region of California’s Sierra Nevada. In this memoir, Gaylen D. Lee recounts the story of his Nim family across six generations. Drawing from the recollections of his grandparents, mother, and other relatives, Lee provides a deeply personal account of his people’s history and culture. In keeping with the Nim’s traditional life-style, Lee’s memoir takes us through their annual seasonal cycle. He describes communal activities, such as food gathering, hunting and fishing, the processing of acorn (the Nim’s staple food), basketmaking, and ceremonies and games. Family photographs, some dating to the beginning of this century, enliven Lee’s descriptions. Woven into the seasonal account is the disturbing story of Hispanic and white encroachment into the Nim world. Lee shows how the Mexican presence in the early nineteenth century, the Gold Rush, the Protestant conversion movement, and, more recently, the establishment of a national forest on traditional land have contributed to the erosion of Nim culture. Walking Where We Lived is a bittersweet chronicle, revealing the persecution and hardships suffered by the Nim, but emphasizing their survival. Although many young Nim have little knowledge of the old ways and although the Nim are a minority in the land of their ancestors, the words of Lee’s grandmother remain a source of strength: "Ashupá. Don’t worry. It’s okay."
