Josie Patrick overcomes the heartache of young loss in a small town, yearning for big love and finding sprinkles of life in the smallest and biggest of hearts. "I Know What I Have and I'm Grateful" is the acclaimed first novel of award-winning writer Doug Elfman, an organic piece of literature that tells a quiet story of a girl who becomes a woman, in a tale without weapons, currency, religion, cussing or exclamation marks - a statement of simplicity, which contrasts the screaming times in which Josie lives.
