Description

OUR ROBIN IS READ: VOICES FROM THE WAYSIDE is a compilation of letters, known as a “Round Robin,” between Ellen and her seven siblings, starting in the early 1940s and continuing through the early 1970s. In fact, the children of all the Gray siblings and even their children are still carrying on the tradition to this day. There is a treasure trove of history between the pages of this book — letters written during World War II, the assassination of President Kennedy — as well as lots of funny stories, the weddings of Ellen and her sister, Carolyn, and the sadness that permeates as they correspond about the deaths of their parents.
