About the event Join Prologue Bookshop on Thursday, June 18 at 6:30pm for an author event with Brad Ryan in conversation with Virginia West in celebration of his new book, Grandma Joy and Me: A Journey of Healing, One National Park at a Time!
Grandma Joy and Me follows a seven-year adventure of intergenerational healing, wherein a grandmother and grandson find themselves released from the injustices—real and imagined—that had long held them hostage. An emotionally charged exploration of love, forgiveness, and resilience, this unique bond between a young man and his ninety-three-year-old grandmother—the oldest person to visit every US National Park—is more than just any travel tale; it is a testament to what makes us deeply human.
