It was my dad's grandfather that really made this book

Frederick, MD July 18, 2006 -- PublishAmerica is proud to present Can You Hear Me?: Miss Sarah's Civil War Journals by Melbourne, Florida’s Gloria Kenmare Grant. Can You Hear Me? is the story of Sarah, who has dedicated most her life to helping others. Now, she lies in a comatose state, listening to her memories as her daughter Marie reads aloud her journals of the Civil War.

Gloria Kenmare Grant has always enjoyed writing, and became interested in the Civil War after researching her father’s family back to 1777. Nothing she found told about the trials the children of that era faced. She has also always been intrigued by people in comatose stages of lifecan they hear, see, smell and think? After much research, Gloria Kenmare Grant found that she could combine the two ideas into the story Can You Hear Me?

God Bless you, I ask for your and your friends prayers.

You see I worked hard writing a spiritual novel. It is a book that I had hoped that our youth and parents alike will read.

It is hard to get a book like this out on the market, it seems people in our stores don't want a book that had no foul language or sex, and even worse .

But I wanted a factual book on what "All" the Children of the Civil War went through, (although it is fictional)

I had a book signing at my church here in Indialantic, Fl. a few weeks ago and sold over fifty books.

I asked all, to please give me their honest opinions. Now I am getting feed back that everyone loved it, no matter what race they are.

Preface

Here it is September 17, 1940, and I am still here.

“Oh my, all of you help me blow out all these candles before the firemen arrive,” I yelled at all my grand kids. “I still don’t believe I am 87 years old.” This was true, God had blessed me even now with good health; I could still do all my chores, live alone and most important, still be independent.

Yet here it was my birthday again. The kids were busy, but all the grandkids and great grandkids were here for lunch including cake and ice cream. Everyone was laughing and joking. But, as always, good things end, and when the last one had left the house once again was deadly quiet. I quickly cleaned up. As I was putting away things, I noticed I was about out of milk. I decided to walk to the corner market and get some more. Besides, right now, I wanted out of this quiet house and walking always helped me to relieve some of the loneliness. I had sold the car a few years ago. After all, it was only a few blocks to the market.

I got my coat and basket from the closet and put on my gloves. As I stepped out on the porch, a cold breeze hit me. “It’s my birthday chill, it always happens,” I said to myself, and as with each passing year, it always made me smile.

Walking along, I am unaware of being cold. I speak to a few neighbors along the way. I stand and wait for the light to change at the corner. Looking, both ways, I step out in the street. I hear a scream behind me and turn, a car careens around the corner straight at me, and the world goes dark…
