This
is a delightful collection of heart warming short stories, each one
generated by a button in a button box. Buttons tossed into an antique
tin for generations, the worn cloth made into quilts. Each button
tells a story, some happier than others.
It
had become a family tradition, getting out the button box when the
weather was bad and telling stories. There was the story of the death
of a fellow Canadian lumber man. Another was the humorous time the
preacher saw the bloomers on the behind of a frightened young woman.
There was a dangerous canoe adventure, a painting bill paid in full,
growing dust, a field mouse, blue hands, and many more.
The
buttons tell stories of the family, some from the current time and
some from years before. But they are more than just entertaining
stories. Each one is a lesson about life, love and faith. An enjoyable book.
