Yolanda Martin, a retired teacher, devoted wife, understanding mother, and doting grandmother resides in Jackson, Mississippi. As in her first book, Teaching in the Potter's Hands, she approaches another subject dear to the hearts of millions of people. In The Thorns in Grandma's Garden, Martin dares to explore and expose the difficult aspects of being a grandparent, while still celebrating the joy that this wonderful blessing brings. She, fourteen other grandparents, and a sensitive, grateful adult grandchild lovingly share the "grand" relationships that have made life changing impacts on how they view the world. How each has met the challenges has been determined by the level of Wisdom employed.
