They Left Us Everything: A Memoir by Plum Johnson

4.0

---

I received this through Goodreads First Reads. I thought it was a very enchanting and light hearted memoir. I helped my mom with going through my grandpa's apartment a few years ago, so it was almost like a mix of maybe reading about what my mom felt as we did that, as well as some of what I felt. Because seeing the past, all those old photos and letters, is fascinating. And Plum Johnson touches on all that will be lost with the newer generations- we rely so much on technology, which constantly becomes outdated. I know I am fascinated by my grandparents past, I think most people are, so the idea that there might not be these snippets of memories to pass on and let later generations mull over is a sad thought.
