Gianna Mamie Jean Calvert

Gianna is an Italian name with two meanings: "God is gracious" or "The Lord is gracious."This is a story of life in the deep South. Helen (Granny) Wallace faces many trials and tribulations, but through the little country church that means so much to her she never loses her faith. Johnny, her only son, also faces hardships that turn his life upside down for many years. Their worlds change when a little girl comes into their lives. This book is inspired by a script I wrote and decided to turn into a book because I love the story. Being born and raised in Irvine, Kentucky, a lot of the story holds true. I didn't grow up poor, but I sure could relate to a lot of folks who were. This is just a story of life with a happy ending; I hope everyone has a happy ending as well.
