We Are Family: a Family's Journey Peggy Gardner

The story is about a way of life. It's about a family with many highs and lows that occur to test them as the years flow by. It is set in southern California, and begins with seven main characters: Grams, Gramps, Mom and Dad and their three daughters who were in their early twenties at the time. The story covers three decades: 1980's, 1990's, and into 2000's as far as 2005. There are many events through the years: weddings and births, a miscarriage, and injuries with some close calls that shake up the family. But the hurts and heartaches are embraced by everyone as they lend their help, the way that families do. As the story grows, the family and friends expand into a large clan. It starts with seven people and ends with over forty folks. Through it all, "Grams" is the glue that keeps everyone together.
