The Red Address Book
by
Sofia Lundberg
Where should I start the story of my life? I haven't made any great discoveries or changed history. I am just an ordinary person.
Doris, a 96 year old, didn't know where to begin her story for her only living relative, Jenny. Doris began by opening her red address book and telling the story of those listed there. By telling about her relationship with many of the entries, her life was retold for her niece, Jenny. It had been a long and good life.
A very interesting book that begins in the 30's and moves forward throughout Doris's life. I am sure we could also have many good memories if we followed her example and opened our address book and shared the stories of the people in there.
