In Grandmother’s Guest, a visit to her grandmother offers young Alex the comfort of curling up in a favorite wing chair; a lesson in reaching out to a misunderstood neighbor, the Blue Lady; and the remarkable discovery of a mended china creamer at auction. But for the Blue Lady to become a part of Alex and her grandmother’s world, one more thing is needed—an act of such innocent kindness that only a granddaughter would think of it." --Publisher's blurb.
