Found in Grandma's Attic

By Bonnie Huddleston Ivey-Nobles

Every human being longs to know where they came from...to know familial personality traits, talents, abilities and short comings, health issues, etc.

This book is written to reveal the importance of a family tree revealing secrets in the attic found by a great grand daughter long after death of the grandmother. Found in the attic are written poems, stories, rough drafts. Some are well written and some appear as junk but each shows information a person would never talk to anyone about.

This attic was in the grandmother's mind where secrets, hurts, pains, goals, misuses, hopes, joys are stored memories. Until one's attic is found, such person is never fully understood or known, which is after death. It becomes evident that the trunk of the family tree is the grandmother and the roots of that tree pass on to generations that follow. This is why the children should glean and write down many personal conversations with the elders in a family instead of avoiding their company.

The author's hope is that her great granddaughter will find her attic and learn the great grandmother she never knew, a grandmother who loved her, prayed for her.

by Dr Bonnie Ivey

We learn much from going through someone’s attic. Oh, you say, My house has no attic.

So wrong are you! I am 83 years old --- never lived in a house that had an attic. But I have an attic filled with many secrets --- the attic of my mind, my memories, my secrets, my self-talk that I would never verbalize to another human.

My self-talk is put on paper. Here are some secret things found in Grandma’s attic. Things she could write but never say. Did not really know her until today.
