This book is based on factual events that the author has experienced and his knowledge of African American culture. A God-Fearing, Cantankerous, elderly woman is asked to undergo a traditional, daunting summer task. Her responsibilities include the watchdog effort, ' and the use of whatever means necessary to discipline and teach her grandchildren, great-nieces, and great-nephews how to live a Christian way of life. Their ages range from 8-17, and the desire, reluctance, and necessity for them to remain in her house depends on one major stipulation; they all must attend church services with her every Sunday. This novel is a collection of diverse, raw, entertaining, humorous stories about family fun, adventure, and the experiences that take place in an urban community in Cincinnati, Ohio. One of the natural outcomes in life is that every generation of adolescents encounters their share of trials, tribulations, and temptations while growing up. In many cases they are unavoidable, sometimes unpredictable, and sometimes unbelievable. The essence of this book touches on every facet of these experiences.
