Johnson shares stories from his life with his eight-year-old grandson Emery, weaving in advice and life lessons that stand the test of time. This is by no means a one-sided activity, “In the dialectic of learning between grandparents and grand­children, in this give and take between generations, both sides have something to teach each other.”
