The Magic of Grandfather Time is a beautiful short storybook.

Rose English has a superb talent for making the reader believe they are connected somehow to the story. You instantly fall in love with her characters and their pain is your pain.

A book that packs just enough emotion within, and certainly a story you will want to read again…
