nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Dickinson family moved to Pendleton, Oregon in the late 1930's. They had to. Moving to find employment and an income was not unusual during the Great Depression. They found their way to Pendleton and Homer, the patriarch, went to work for the Union Pacific Railroad, a permanent position-and he was very grateful. The family finally had a house and a way to take care of their two sons, George and Gibb. Today, the 21st century, the Dickinson family has changed; of course that happens, people die, and new kids are born into it. Unfortunately, the new kids don't always make intelligent choices.The family had done well. They were comfortable, not rich, and twins were born to George and his wife Sulema. Eventually, the twins have their own kids and not all is well with the sons of Amos, one of the twins. Today, those sons of Amos are two young adult men who are very successful. Grant, is a Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps and his younger brother David is the shortstop for the Detroit Tigers; yes those Detroit Tigers.It wasn't always that way for the two brothers. Those two, with questionable interference, or maybe it was neglect, from their mother who finally admitted that she shouldn't have been a mother and that she really wasn't too fond of her boys. They looked like they were messing up their lives intentionally. Consequently, Grant and David were determined to start a disaster in their own house.George is now an old man (82) but he's not old enough to say, 'I won't quit on those two grandsons of mine.' Therefore, the Dickinson family takes charge of raising the two boys after their mother had left with another man. The story mainly is about Grant and David breaking out of a very bad place and the family's patient efforts (the rescue) to turn two potential criminals, or at least deadbeats, into, as their grandfather said, 'fine young mean.' After some sputters and spurts, Grant and David made some major changes with their behaviors. The family succeeded and the two former malcontents, who appeared to be heading to juvenile court, tried very hard, with an abundance of family help, to restart their lives. A Family Rescue is about not quitting on people, even if they are bound and determined to mess up their own lives. The good news; no relative, outside their own mother, gives up on these two and they were glad to see her leave. This is a family that will not sit around and watch any relative drift away and jump off a two-hundred foot cliff and smash into the rocks below. It is also about people who don't give up on themselves. it is an uplifting and very emotional story about a proud family of talented people who stand by those they love.…
