Grisham's Lessons #1 Stay open minded

By author Larry Johns. The Island Gang is just forming as they come into contact with Mr. Grisham. Grisham is at the lowest point in his life, having recently lost his wife. Together they had fought through years of MS and just two years earlier the unrelenting disease had caused her to become bedridden. Then that chapter of his life came to a close. He is deep in despair when the kids show up wanting to learn more about the dinghy that sits amongst a clump of overgrown berry bushes down at Raft Island Beach. Seeing a chance to help some kids accomplish their dream, he allows them into his life. He did not know at the time what association with these kids would bring.

Grisham's lessons will include both things learned and things taught. This lesson comes from Legend of Crystal Cove. Future postings could include lessons from Legend of the Masks, Legend of the Orcas, Legend of Walking Stick, or Legend of the Creation. You can find The Island Gang at Amazon.com, Borders.com, or it is available through your favorite bookstore.
