Tales of Common Sense and The Tale Of the Broken Heart

Tales of Common Sense and The Tale Of the Broken Heart

Thirteen short, plain-spoken life lessons—on change, happiness, problems, heartbreaks, gratitude, integrity, respect, time, friends, regrets, balance, manners, and mastering everyday triggers—each one simple enough for a child to understand, yet deep enough to make a grown man or woman stop and think. No preaching. No big words. Just truth, told gently, the way a grandfather would tell it while rocking on the porch. And then comes the final, longer story—“The Tale of the Broken Heart”—a tender, heartbreaking, healing little fable that ties everything together. I won’t spoil it, but I will say this: I wasn’t expecting to tear up over a book called Common Sense . But I did. And I’m glad I did. This isn’t a self-help book. It’s a hand-on-the-shoulder book. it’s the kind you keep on the kitchen table, dog-eared, and hand to a grandkid, a neighbor, or a stranger who looks like they could use a kind word.
