Correct Name: Family Secrets Five Very Important Stories

This is a rare book. A writer sensitive to the vulnerable feelings of children, Ms. Shreve also shows respect and compassion of a kind too little displayed in this time of confusion of values in this modern capitalist society.In other words, there's no agenda here but appreciation of the intrinsic value of a human being learning to live with honor and empathy.
