In the mountains of Mexico, a grandmother passes the seasons with her granddaughter. As the days and nights come and go, grandmother quiets granddaughter's many fears. 'I can hear trembling in your body; I can feel fear inside your bones', she sings as she holds her beloved grandchild in her strong, safe arms. And as she comforts the young girl, she awakens within her the courage and dignity, trust and skill that are her birthright.In this way, granddaughter is transformed from a fearful child to a confident, generous and considerate young woman. When she has a family of her own, she too understands how to hold and comfort the children at her knee. And she grows closer still to her grandmother, attending to her needs as the old woman becomes more frail. Then grandmother dies. During their years together, she has instilled in her granddaughter the wisdom of generations. Now, in the midst of her grief, granddaughter has to truly step into her inheritance. She must learn to meet her beloved grandmother in a new way and to teach her children one of the central mysteries that courses through the cycle of life and death.Soros, Barbara is the author of 'Grandmother's Song' with ISBN 9780606197496 and ISBN 0606197494.
