About The Book

“George Valadie is one of the best writers I’ve ever read. His stories are not only full of interesting facts but always enjoyable and always entertaining. I look forward to his columns every month and highly recommend reading this author.”

“I’ve known George and Nancy and their family since before they were a family, and I’ve enjoyed reading George’s stories for nearly that long. I’ve even had a front-row seat to many of his experiences. He writes with uncommon humor and humility, and every story has a message and a meaning that we all need to hear. He has a remarkable talent for storytelling, and every story he tells makes me either laugh or cry (and sometimes both in the same story!) I’m delighted that he is sharing his writing genius with the world.”

“George Valadie possesses an enviable and uncommon ability to write with humor and heart about the grace that is found in everyday life. He sees God moments (and often hilarity) in car breakdowns, teenage grumpiness, dogs that flunk obedience training and broken water pipes in the school gym. Drawing on his many years as a parochial school administrator, he celebrates teachers, parents and kids as they cope with victories and defeats, tragedies and triumphs and the plain old hard work of life. He makes you burst out laughing and break down in tears of nostalgia and compassion. Readers will recognize themselves, their families, and friends in his stories of real life that always tell a deeper truth.”
