Grandma’s Bucket of Mercy

You are never too old or too young to learn life’s lessons.

Multiple award-winning author Robin Carole shares another heartwarming and true story, Grandma’s Bucket of Mercy. This story of family, love, and forgiveness will resonate with all ages. Discover the definition of mercy through a life lesson that shows how a simple act of kindness can have the greatest impact on a person’s life.

A generation has passed since Carole’s grandmother and mother survived the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression of the 1930s in her story, Firewood and Christmas Potatoes. Now ten-year-old Carole will spend a brief summer vacation with her grandmother during the 1960s. Carole’s grandmother sends her on an adventure that involves the neighbor who lives in the apartment directly behind her.

Young Carole does not immediately understand the importance of this unusual assignment and how it will reshape an old man’s life. Four years later, Carole finally grasps the meaning and magnitude of mercy when a family member of the old man shares how these anonymous deeds changed the old man’s life before his passing.

Carole’s grandmother knew the value of teaching this epochal lesson of mercy-a lesson that transformed her old neighbor and enlightened her younggranddaughter.

Grandma’s Bucket of Mercyis a beautifully illustrated story for every child and for the childlike spirit in every adult.
