Cleveland

This book tells of how a family was close-knit and how they survived by working together. The author's immediate family (Goodwin) realized that the City of Cleveland was, then and now, a great place to live, work, and raise a family. The author lived through the Hough Race Riots in the 1960s, and at a young age, the assassination of three great world leaders-President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin L. King, and Robert F. Kennedy. The experience of her beloved paternal Grandma Maggie's death when she was six years old impacted her life in so many ways. Gwen believes our lives are like puzzle pieces, and you continue to add on pieces; and no pieces are the same size, shape, or color.
