Book overview
FAMILY STORIES
I can only say that we should treasure each moment of our lives. I am sitting here
remembering about my childhood. Wow, there are many pleasant memories. Some
are gone; however, they live very deep in my heart.
STORIES or TALES
Some of my stories will help my readers realize that life is too short.
Even though this is a recollection of my life and others in my family, it will help young
adults relate to their own family ties.
As you begin reading, you will notice that I began with the history of my island. It is not
only interesting, but important to know the origin of any individual...
