Goin' Back in Time For a Visit With Ancestors

Stories in this book should make it easier to virtually travel back in time to a past where we can imagine what emotions were experienced by our ancestors during some of their life events. These stories provide a small window into some of those experiences that formed who they were to a small degree. They acted as we would have acted under similar circumstances but by a different set of values that defined their "time", not ours. Maybe when reading some of these stories, it might remind you of a family member that you know. For example at my age when I look into a mirror I see my father. I'm sure I have inherited many of his characteristics since he was my first and most important teacher/mentor. My ancestors, who are the subjects of these stories, discovered, as we have, that the world of our youth expands quickly as we mature and leave the nest.
