  The Significance of Curly Hair -...

  Growing up, Gram was my best friend. We shared a double bed in my family’s cottage until I was nine. Fifteen years later, I got the call that she’d fallen and hit her head. All I could see was her mouthing, “Don’t you love me enough to come back home?” I wept on the plane as I began to write her story, the one she’d asked me to write in ninth grade. 
  Gram and I were polar opposites. She spent much of her life barefoot and pregnant. I was a gay, career-driven, independent decision-maker. 
  Searching through old relics, we found a time capsule in Gram’s drawer, revealing clues to her dark era, her 1957 breakdown. Dark green pills, a bank book, scribbles on an envelope: answers to unasked questions. She survived stress and abuse without things I take for granted: income, a car, stocked pantry shelves. She did it all with unconditional love, never revealing her pain. 
  I’d spent my adult life avoiding becoming a “traditional” woman, but her death freed something in me. I realized the importance of child-rearing, understanding a woman like me can balance career and family. Love and support create happy, healthy kids. I could pass Gram’s spirit onto a child, braiding generations together from lifetime to lifetime. 
   --- 
  I read, or rather zoomed, through the whole thing. The emotional action just sort of sweeps you along. I had tears in my eyes at the end of Chapter 1. – Mimi Schroeder, APR Max Communications

  This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome, dear reader, to the captivating journey through the life and wisdom of one of history's most remarkable minds—Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher. As we step back in time, we'll uncover the profound insights and contributions that have left an indelible mark on philosophy, science, and our understanding of the world. 
  Aristotle's tale begins in the ancient city of Stagira, nestled in Macedonia. Born in 384 BCE, this curious young soul would grow to be a beacon of knowledge, illuminating the path for generations to come. From his early days, it was clear that he possessed a thirst for understanding the very essence of existence. 
  Venturing to Athens, Aristotle found his intellectual haven at Plato's Academy. There, his agile mind soaked in the teachings of the great Plato, forging a solid foundation for his own ideas. And so, our journey takes flight—a journey that sees Aristotle evolve from a keen learner to a brilliant thinker who challenged convention and explored the secrets of nature.
