A memoir in the form of poetry, Patty (Carpenter) Greene takes the reader on the long, winding road of her life, from childhood to the joys of being a great-grandmother. Through her faith in God and the love of her family, Greene writes lyrical masterpieces that confront lifes curveballs, including accomplishment, failure, loss, gain, and most importantly, the magnitude of love. Along with preaching the importance of family values, Memories in Rhyme includes the message of caring for others, whether they are family or complete strangers. Greene urges the reader to be aware of those around him and help ease any suffering whenever possible. Patty (Carpenter) Greenes message is clear: If we all work together, worldwide peace and nonviolent cooperation is obtainable, a hope Ms. Greene herself will carry in her heart always.
