This is another epic tale that comes straight from a grandfather’s memoir. Jenna tells of her grandad’s adventurous life as a teenager between 1936 and 1939. You’ll hear thrilling, and heartfelt coming of age stories, that include crossing oceans, jumping trains, and stowing away on ships. The memoir ends ominously, at the start of WWII. Bookending these tales of course, are stories of what Jenna’s grandfather meant to her, and taught her about life.
