Story Overview

This story is about my grandmother and how life was during the late 1800s thru the 1920s. It begins with my grandmother at 93 years old and receiving a Christmas gift from her grandson, me.

The gift was a journal for her to reflect on her life story. The family always heard of her Ziegfeld Follies days but now realizing her final days are near we wanted more.
