What is the aim or goal of your writing:
The aim and reason for writing my books was to tell the story of my aunt's life which turned out to be a history of our family from 1891 to 1937. I wanted it to be a legacy of love to be handed down from generation to generation so the whole family would know the things my aunt shared with me while I was growing up in her home.
