Mick Jagger was right. "You can't always get what you want...
...Especially not from preceding generations of your own family. And you can't always control the lessons or traits you pass on to your descendants, either.
This hard truth lies at the heart of author Stephen M. Vest's nostalgic collection of family tales. Through a series of real-life vignettes exploring the relationships within his own feisty, fascinating family, Vest uncovers the many values, traits, and life lessons — often unexpected — that he inherited from his older parents, domineering grandmother, and other colorful characters who influenced his life.
Vest's stories will strike a chord of warm familiarity with readers who will recognize a little bit of their own families, and maybe a little bit of themselves, on each page. They also affirm that the rest of Mick Jagger's line is also true, especially when it comes to family:
"If you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need."
