Written by award-winning author and acclaimed storyteller Gerald Hausman, often referred to as today's Mark Twain, LITTLE MIRACLES brings the reader gently, lovingly along on Hausman's journey through life. Filled with tales and fables, fantasies and myths, with places like Rattlesnake Mountain Road and the Gaslight Cafe in New York City to Maurice Sendak's Studio and the Fat Black Pussycat, each chapter gives a glimpse into the world of a master storyteller.
Grab a ride with a dachshund named Mouse and an Amazon parrot named George and you can't help reading on as the sentiments of the day rollover you like a delightful fog of earlier, more civilized times, steeped in history and brimming with colorful characters.
Hausman's memoir tells of a life well-lived with eyes and ears wide open, drinking in the moments and giving them a place of reverence for all to enjoy.
