| Publisher Description: Blinds, Patches, and Twine is one family's road map through the hardships and struggles present in three generations of living. Beginning with the final tale in 1972 and looking back at where it all started, this true story shows the disappointments, fear, laughter, anger and, most importantly, the love shared by strong family ties. This story of survival and wits tells about a powerful man who never fully achieved what the talent and passion he'd been gifted with would have indicated. That tenacity and passion spawned a family of four and led one son, Sammy, the youngest, to the fame and fortune his father had always sought. Ultimately, Sammy Hagar carried his dream to the pinnacle of success. Primarily, Blinds is a story of resolution, compromise and forgiveness that carries readers through the years of a family's love and courage as they strive to deal with the debilitating alcohol addiction of a strong, vital character. It introduces the family through events as their personalities are shaped and developed by these circumstances. One gets the feeling that there is something left behind in all of us as we deal with "who" we are, while living with "where" we are. About the Author: Bobby Hagar Harrell helps run her family business in Riverside, California. She is the mother of three, grandmother of nine and great-grandmother of four. "I said all of my life that my dad's failure was the greatest tool I had in learning and understanding how to live. I'm so grateful for this experience and my mother's courage to help us through without ever planting one seed of hate or discontent." Publisher's website: http: //www.sbpra.com/BobbyHagarHarrell |
