    Grandma Attacks Wolf With Her Own Broom

    by
    An Epic Short Memoir That is Sure to Leave the Reader Captivated and in Awe. Often in this day and age, the elderly are undervalued and unrecognized. Some of the younger people even go about their business not acknowledging the elderly’s existence. They don’t recognize the knowledge and wisdom that sits within them. Not me though; I fully understand their years are plentiful, and to avoid them only means missing out on a lifetime of practical teaching. My Grandma, along with many other seniors, are the bearers of built-in knowledge and wisdom. This is the reason I chose to write this short story: It’s a tribute dedicated to my Grandma and all the elderly on the planet who have been there and done that, all in a fashion that showed class and thoughtful action. There is one particular tale in my Grandma’s arsenal that stands out amongst the rest: It’s the story when she went to battle with a full-grown wolf.

    The Big White Church Down the Street

    Where Children Run

    by

    cover

    Twins David and Dennis Pischke’s lives change forever when their father dies, and a man damaged by the war arrives at their farm near the isolated town of Moosehorn, Manitoba. Boleslaw Domko quickly works his way into their lives and their mother’s bed.

    “Where Children Run” opens with one of their earliest memories—the day Domko throws their infant stepsister against the wall. In this first-hand account, the Twins recall years of neglect, starvation, and enslavement; horrific beatings and candlelit nights spent in the nearby St. Thomas Lutheran Church. Neighbors intervene, but their efforts provide only temporary relief as the children’s mother—also living in fear—refuses to press charges.

    The brothers vow that if they survive, they will someday expose their tormentor and members of their mother’s religious organization who turned a blind-eye to their suffering. This is their story—told with stark honesty and in heart-wrenching detail.

    “Where Children Run” is a timeless, unforgettable book about survival; and a powerful testament to the strength and adaptability of the human spirit.
