About the Book

A collection of short stories with snippets of life, introducing you to characters that will take you inside their hearts and soulsto help you learn a little something about yourself... Richard Beales (former editor/Brantford Expositor)Message from the Author: Many of these stories appeared in my newspaper column in the Brantford Expositor from 2006 to 2009. I was overwhelmed with the reception my stories received from the readers, and appreciated all the magnificent comments that were sent my way. After my column was cancelled, I published the first version of "From the Heart," and it was so successful, I have decided to publish a second edition. Many of the original stories are there, plus some new ones. Of course, the book has travelled far beyond the borders of my home town now!I would like to thank everyone who inspired my stories by telling me snippets of their life, which I took and created a new tale based upon some truth and some fiction. Other stories are gleaned from my observations of life around me."From the Heart" are narratives from my heart to yours. Some will make you laugh; some will make you cry; some will make you wonder about the mystery of life. I hope you will enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.Mary M.

She is about to find out as she visits her great-grandmother in Ireland and learns the history of her ancestors.GRANDPA'S STORY ... a story related to a grandchild, who on the anniversary of her grandfather's passing, goes to their favourite place and listens again to the tape.IN REMEMBRANCE OF ... snippets from the heart of a World War I veteran as he tells a young man what it was like to be in a war.BLIND JUSTICE ... will a jury convict a blind girl of the horrid crime?
