This is a biography: the life story of someoneyou probably never heard of, in one sense, an illustrious nobody , but a person whose lifetouched and made a difference, albeit oftenunrecognized, in the lives of many others.It is written as a novel but is neither completelyfiction nor the whole story: just glimpses. Othersmay have facets of their truth that are part ofBelle’s story, but this, my small part, is true tothe telling and the seeing as I remember it.May there be blessings on all grandparents whotake the time to share their life stories with theirgrandchildren.
