The gift of longevity allows Gruenewald to see her life and the wider world through a lens chiseled with compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude. She has survived a lifetime of challenges-the great depression, imprisonment in Japanese-American internment camps, interracial marriage, and a search for personal acceptance-and now, shares her hard-earned wisdom. We live in rapidly changing times longing for the steady hand of wise elders willing to impart their life lessons and reassurances that all will be well.
