This book is a real-life granmance! Veterinary student Brad Ryan was dangerously burned out when he realized he needed to change his life. Seeking healing from a grueling schedule, he embarked on a journey to reconnect with nature and his beloved grandmother, Joy.
Here I am with my paternal grandmother, Iris, on the right in her wedding day portrait, and my mother, Linda, on the left in her college portrait. My grandmother, an Italian immigrant who entered the U.S. through Ellis Island in 1927, had to overcome many obstacles to start her new life here. She was a calm and steady presence in my life. Her Friday night pizza parties were legendary and influenced my lifelong love of cooking.
