LIFE

About the Book

There is no one word found in a thesaurus or dictionary to sum up the complex nature of family ties. Family life is the foundation of how we structure our daily living. Some of us are grounded by childhood traditions, rules, and by many positive and negative experiences. Always treasure family bonds, family love and gatherings. Never underestimate the power of family unity.
