People have shared things with me they never shared with others-especially the eiders. People often see their mothers, grandmothers, aunts et al as these one dimensional folks who lived their entire lives as that. Nothing can be further from the truth...I have discovered over and over again that is not true. Grandma hasn't always been a good Christian lady-mama had a life before daddy and them kids-papa was a rolling stone. PORCH CONVERSATIONS brings those kinds of truths to light-proving elders aren't just what they are but what they were.
