As the Daisies Bloom

A refreshing read in a world of turmoil! - Reader Review ___

Was it a chance meeting in the Daisy Cafe that brought a father and his boys from Macon, Georgia, descendants of slaves, into the life of a descendent of Swiss Mennonites, or was it the mysterious workings of the father’s grandmother, Momma Daisy?

August Kibler tells the stories of his own life and the lives of Tyler, Johnny, and Jimmy through the tragedy and grief, and the joy and gratitude, that each discovered along the way.

The generous spirit they share is a gift to any seeking greater understanding when you believe you have little in common. Yet it is through sharing that August discovers a deep reverence for Momma Daisy and Pappy Jemison, and for the legacy of love and mettle that defined their lives.

August challenges our certitudes as, in his own life, he says, I would rather have doubts and be wrong than to be certainly wrong.

Tyler and August bear witness to what might appear to be ordinary lives, yet which both see as nothing less than extraordinary.
