Memories are the ultimate contradiction. They can warm us on our coldest days or they can freeze a loved one out of our lives forever. The McCarthy family has a trove of warm memories. Of innocent first kisses. Of sumptuous family meals. Of wondrous lessons learned at the foot of a rocking chair. But they also have had their share of icy ones. Of words that can never be unsaid. Of choices that can never be unmade. Of actions that can never be undone.
Following the death of his beloved wife, John McCarthy Grandpa John calls his family back home. It is time for them to face the memories they have made, both warm and cold. Only then can they move beyond them and into the future.
A rich portrait of a family at a crossroad, THE ROCKIN' CHAIR is Steven Manchester’s most heartfelt and emotionally engaging novel to date. If family matters to you, it is a story you must read
Biography
I am not a new fan of Manchester! And I am happy to report that this one did not disappoint. The writing for this one was just as wonderful as the last book I read from him titled Twelve Months. This one is very descriptive about the McCarthy family members! So you really feel like you know the lives of the people in the story! This book really reminds you on how short life is and if we keep things inside to long that before you know it, its to late to do anything about it. Alzheimer's in my opinion is one of the worst possible things that a family member can get. I wouldnt know what to do if I didnt know who my family was or in vis. if they didnt know who I was.
