Two Winstons is a sweet little book that engages the reader through amusing dialog between five year old Virginia, three year old Winston, and their sixty three year old grandmother. The questioning that follows each exchange lures the reader into a search for relevance to their own life.

Nancy Gratta

Nancy Gratta is a grandmother of four, two of whom you will meet in this book. Of the many rich and varied roles she has played in this lifetime, Nancy claims being a grandmother as the most fun of all. Nancy holds a Master of Education, specializing in Health. After twenty three years teaching in the public school system, from pre-school to college level, she retired and in 2006 established her business, Angels by the Sea. Nancy is a Spiritual Teacher, Reiki Master Teacher, and Psychic Medium. Her class subjects are varied and evolved, including among others, angels, guides, nature connections, meditation and self-healing practices. Her current focus is geared toward self-discovery through independent thinking. Thus the creation of her first book, Two Winstons: Conversations with My Grandchildren That Inspire Questions That Lead to Independent Thinking. She hopes you will have as much fun reading it and uncovering your own stories, as she did writing it.
