description: Ginny's Chairs is a collection of stories, insights, and poems from a remarkable Southern lady whose lifetime spanned most of a century. "To make good old people, you have to catch them young," Ginny often said, and her book appeals to every stage of life. Parents appreciate its rock-solid family values. Seniors hearten to its dignity and purpose. Everyone finds it an entertaining and inspiring read. Beginning with Big Fingerprint and Ginny's imaginary friend Boolard, this book seats you in a succession of memorable chairs, each providing a view of life that is as fresh as it is absorbing. Whether getting a carriage ride home with the unauthorized packinghouse beef at age 8 or winning a tennis tournament at age 87, Ginny faced life straight on. Mimosa Seat is the touching story of her father's death; The Chair That Burned relates hilariously to young married life. Follow her to England during World War II, to riding school in Mexico, to committee meetings as she organizes Senior Neighbors, to the garden she spent forty years creating. Share an intimate look at a love affair that went beyond the bounds of time. Ginny's Chairs is factual except for the final flying saucer in Tailored to Fit - and even for that, who knows?
