Generations Apart
by
Lucille Griswold
Rules change from one
generation to another. Advice given in a past time period may seem
totally out of whack in present day society. Reconciling the two can be
irritating at best. Fortunately, society fights these injustices and
eventually rules are created to compensate for past wrongs. The reader
will become absorbed in the character of Susan Lavoie whose idyllic life
is shattered during her first year in college. We learn how evading the
truth and keeping secrets can lead to frustration and heartache and can
ultimately involve the whole family. Redemption does follow despite the
electronic age and family discrepancies. Times change, families change,
but ultimately, the conclusion highlights generational inconsistencies,
while informing and satiating an individual’s thirst for knowledge and
entertainment. In a surprising conclusion, readers will learn the
importance of telling the truth and if integrity and justice will
prevail.
“Tragedy has no time limits."
“…for
Susan, the secret she held for these many years still nagged at the
back of her brain always threatening to reveal itself…”
“Both
their mouths just seemed to fall against each other and each
experienced their first ever passionate kiss that made their bodies
tingle from their outer lips down to the deepest depths of their
bodies…”
“Would John resent Susan not ever telling him these horrors that so preoccupied her mind?”
“He
pondered how something so special between them could have slipped away
when Susan’s notes from college rather abruptly stopped. Why did she
ever stop writing?”

Interview With Lucille Griswold:
Can you tell us a little about your books?
Each
of my books is very different and not connected in any way. One is
about a man who does something extremely controversial. One is about a
woman whose young husband just died. Another book involves a story of a
woman who experiences something horrible when she is young and
it nearly ruins her long lasting marriage. All the stories are filled
with multiple generations and age differences, and address many current
issues in society.
Do you have a favorite character to write about?
I
have no favorite because the characters in each book are so different
from one another. However, as I develop each character, I do immerse
myself in their personalities.
When did you first know you wanted to write a book?
When
I was in college studying histories of other women, I became interested
very much in my own background and what made me the women I am today. I
examined my heritage and documented my findings in a Memoir called
‘Life Lived in Reverse’.
How did you choose the genre you write in?
I
don't pick a particular genre, though there seems to be a pattern that
most of my books happen to take place from the 1950's into present day
society. 'My Story: Only God will be my Judge’, starts out by taking
place from September 11, 2001 and continues on from there. Usually
something will make me think of a story line, and I just expand it from
there.
Do you have a favorite spot to write?
I
prefer to write on my desktop computer in my computer room. Though, if
I am out of that area and something comes to mind, I will jot it down
on my iPhone or iPad.
Do you listen to music while you write?
I
love music and dancing, but when I write I become so absorbed in what I
am doing I choose to have quiet surroundings. Also, I write late at
night so I don't want to disturb other family members.
What's one random fact about yourself that you can share?
I love to eat - everything - well not bugs on Survivor.
What do you do when you are not writing?
I
love to read, the arts, watch movies, spend time with friends and
family (which usually involves eating out someplace) or outdoor BBQ's,
the beach, going for walks with my spouse, playing the piano and
dancing...I could go on.
What writing projects are you currently working on?
A novel about a woman executive who overcame great hardships to reach her high status in society.
