Braiding Generations: A Grandfather Breaks the Code
Dr. Harold Battenfield describes the ways in which he grew as a parent and grandparent, braiding together multiple generations into one family bound by a common thread. The moment after I tell you a story is the moment of your greatest recall. Once spoken words are brushed from my lips by breath or breeze, memory loss begins, and my story can be lost in less than two generations. Not wanting my life history to be reduced to a name on a headstone, I choose to record mine in print to offer up what has been meaningful to me in life, so my children and grandkids can know their family history, become witnesses to who I am, and better understand what I think and feel. This is my story about what it means to be human.

When I picked up this book, it was in a store in Tulsa, OK called Ida Red. My nephew told me his best friend's grandfather had written it, but the caption on the back cover about the power of family lore and love shared was the clincher for me.
Harold Battenfield has written a memoir that I hope will bring as much pleasure and joy to you as it did to me, about his own life growing up in rural Oklahoma and about his joy, pain, and love for and with his family and extended family.
This is a book that you might hear a chapter from on, "This American Life," or that you might hear your priest, pastor or minister sharing from to make a point during a sermon.
Please read, enjoy and share the word about this lovely memoir from Harold Battenfield.

Dr. Battenfield has written not only an enchanting personal memoir that crisply, beautifully, and magically shares his story, but disperses wisdom in a very practical and engaging manner. If you want to learn about legacy and the richness of family then this book is the key.
