  Grandma Mary is a big-hearted and generous teacher, who won’t always tell you

  Grandmother Mary Lyons is a true Wisdom Keeper. Each chapter of this wonderful
  book is a gift! Grandmother Mary’s loving presence in our lives is an example
  of her truth as she lives and breathes the breaths of her ancestors. In each
  moment you spend with her you know you are in the presence of an elder who has
  walked the path of life true to the sacred teachings of Mother Earth.
