About this ebook
You have one—probably even more than one. A family story you tell over and over. Maybe it’s a story you heard growing up—one that starts with “Remember when...” Or a story your relatives—especially the littles—request at family gatherings: “Tell us about that time...” It could be a story your family likes to remember—but you’d like to forget.
We have some too!
Imprints is a collection of stories about our ancestors—parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and relatives—living and passed. Some stories are actual memories we’ve experienced. Other stories are family legends. And others are revelations.
Travel through history via family stories from the Industrial Revolution all the way to present day. Read about an ancestor who put a little extra into someone’s pipe without their knowledge. Watch what happens to a pair of siblings who buy cookies without permission. Run with a grandmother across the border from oppression to freedom. Snicker with a college-student who messed up Thanksgiving twice! Discover the impact of modernization on a master craftsman.
These are just a few of the varied accounts in Imprints: A Collection of Family Stories, Legends, and Revelations. Many stories are humorous. Others, quirky. Some are introspective. A few even sorrowful. But through every story runs a reminder of who we are, where we came from, and where we choose to go.
We hope you enjoy our stories, share them with others, and are even inspired to jot down some of your own. May they leave imprints on your heart as they have ours.
