Letters To Cadence: Musings Of A Modern Grandmother

Writers have addressed their children in the past, but what makes Perry's book different is the simultaneous distance and presence she builds into each of her letters as a grandparent. Mundane issues don't necessarily concern her yet she is fully cognizant of the present and how the past informs a child's future. She was born and raised in one century and established her career and had her family at the cusp of another. She continues as an educator into her second century, a profession that has graduated from pen and paper to iPads and Smart boards. With a lyrical, storytelling style Perry relates family lore that will be familiar to any family and shapes a narrative in which a granddaughter can take that past and confidently sail into her own century. Humor and pathos mingle with interesting sidebars into strangely persistent yet useless things like a car's glove compartment. Perry discusses practicing courage and making the best of a bad situation with the same prosaic attitude she approaches maintaining toolboxes and collections. Designed in the age-old form of letters with a 21st century focus, this collection is a unique combination of future-forward conversations and honest reflection. 'Letters to Cadence' will appeal to all ages. Sherri C. Perry is an author and a grandmother. She lives in Texas.
