Each chapter of the book is on a treasured object of hers and the significance it has to her major life events. There's a red stone, an orange carnival ticket, a yellow pen, a green brooch, a blue bracelet, an indigo pendant, and a violet cabinet. These items correspond to; her first day at school, the first time she looked forward to something but missed out due to fear, her birthday and entering a writing competition, her graduation and moving out, her wedding, her marriage, and the culmination of these events and the retelling of them to her granddaughter. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to sincerely thank my mentor, Goldberry Long, for guiding me through this process and being a great Creative Writing professor. Taking her class motivated me to do this project and gave me the confidence I needed to explore writing creatively. I would also like to thank my sister, Erin, and my fiancé, Justin, for supporting and encouraging me through this process. I dedicate this book to my grandma Ruth, who inspired these stories.
