Bedstemor Esther E Hawkins Books
We don't realize how much we impact our children until we think about the way our own parents impacted us. Think back: the over-protector...the under-protector...the quick temper...the wise adviser. Each of these behaviors, from our parents or guardians, have effected us. Some for a moment, some for a lifetime.An excerpt from page 71 struck me to my core: 'Even the adults were agitated, and that made us feel more afraid.'.
Our children feed (and grow) off of how we respond to situations. Just the other day, I heard a quote: 'The way we speak to our children, becomes their inner voice.' Lord, help us.
I am truly responding differently to my children after reading 'Bedstemor'. I've gained a new, tangible perspective on how important it is to remember that our children are our next adults, the next people to be world changers. Let's take a cue from the tragedy around us to turn things around. Change is through our children.

Bedstemor Esther E Hawkins Books Reviews
Bedstemor is beautifully written and is such a powerful, real story. Definitely a page-turner! You know how precious few minutes busy moms have, but I had a hard time putting it down. It made me think so much of my own family history and what certain people (especially women) went through to pass on a similar legacy. Loved it!
This was a very well written book with a good story. It was a look back in time at the hardships her elders endured and as a result of that, she shared the effects of those hardships on relationships and life. Although her story is nothing like my own, I found it therapeutic. Regardless of one's background, it was a really good story.
This is a book that every mother, daughter, and probably son should read. This wonderful story of a Grandmother who's dreams are being fulfilled this very day by her grandchildren. I laughed, I cried, and I self reflected all because of the story of Anni McCrumm. The author brings you in so deep that at one point I felt myself collapse inside right a long with Anni. This book has the potential to change your life.
I feel like I just occupied another's life. This story reveals family intimately, painfully, gracefully. The story of Anni is upfront and almost brutal; the story of Bedstemor is beautiful and surreal. I read this book in two days, it is very good.
Such a beautifully written true story of the life of Anni McCrumm. The author wrote it in first person form, and held me completely captive to the story of such an interesting woman, who endured unimaginable difficulties. A life story of disappointment, difficulty and determination, I am left with such admiration for Anni McCrumm. I didn't want the story to end!!! Esther Hawkins, don't wait too long for your next novel, I will be standing in line for it!
Every chapter kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more...I really couldn't put it down! I was swept up in the character's life from the first pages. I found the author's descriptive narrative of historical events and the life journey of a woman in all of her different roles as a daughter, sister, niece, mother, grandmother to be very enlightnening and often found parallel's to my own life and struggles. A captivating book! I highly recommend the read!!
I believe that it is a goal of the author to not only write and describe details and story line but to also pull the reader into the story and create empathy for the characters. I found this excellent book to contain just the right amount of storytelling, description, emotion and imagination. Your heart breaks for Anni and then like a tapestry you see all the parts of her life that make up who she is, why she responds the way she does and how it affect generations after her. Esther Hawkins has captured a woman she hardly knew through research, family tales and knowledge of the time and place of the story. I am sure her Bedstemor would be honored and is proud of the way her life has been presented. Thoughtfully, lovingly and with honor and respect.
