Kaki was a woman who never knew Siri. She grew up nearly a century ago, when instead of facetime calls, there were party-line telephones. Instead of instant texts, there were hand-written letters that took days (even weeks during World War II) to deliver. Instead of supermarkets on steroids, there were ma-and-pa grocery stores
While her life might be considered dull by todayÕs standards, it was anything but. Blessed with an Erma Bombeck-like sense of humor, she was the quintessential family story-teller, keeping family, friends and even strangers entertained with stories of her hilarious escapades. Her colorful tales offer a joyful kind of wisdom to those of us in this high-tech, low-touch, social-media-driven world.
DonÕt believe it? Take a look at KakiÕs life, told in this memory book, packed with authentic photos and eye-popping art from family and friends, and intertwined with stories of her WWII romance, an evening of shacking-up, a dramatic kidnapping, unbelievable adventures involving German POWs and famous movie stars and ending with her heart warming, beautiful and peaceful death and most memorable laying-to-rest.
This beautiful volume is dedicated to KakiÕs grandson, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Proceeds will be for his future care and for MD research.
