Abstract
This narrative is a work of the author’s heart. It is a journey through the author’s rough start in life and how the woman that saved her—her grandmother—gave the author the gift of reading and writing to carry her through. Seeing how her grandmother’s love for books came full circle with her own children made the author realize that love for literacy can be passed down through generations. The author now spends a lot of her time giving the same gift to her children, both as a primary way to bond and as a nod to her grandmother for all that she did.
