The Rockin' Chair by Steven Manchester

“Grandma?” Evan asked, grabbing her attention.
Elle shook her head, the tears beginning to cascade down her tired face.
“When?” he asked.
Elle reached for his hand. “Last night…right in Grampa’s lap.”
“In the rockin’ chair?” he asked, his voice cracking.
Elle nodded again.
Evan’s eyes filled. “Where else?” he said.

The Rockin' Chair is not my usual read. But I am glad I read it. It took me into a journey of relationships, love, emotions and family bonding. I could feel for the characters and loved every moment of it. 

Grampa John touches our heart. After his beloved wife Alice dies, he calls for his family to be with him. His son Hank has some issues with him but his daughter in law, Elle has always cared for him and his wife. His three grand children are very fond of him. They all turn up at his farm. To help him heal. And most important, they heal too, basking in his love and wisdom. He helps them all to face life again. By doing that he is at peace with himself too. 

With characters so real, and a dog, this novel stays with us long after we finish it. I am definitely going to read more books by this author.....
