About the author
James Arruda Henry was in his mid-nineties when he began to learn to read and write.
For over nine decades he had lived successfully without being able to sign his own name.
Inspired by a book written by a 98 year old man who had also lived without literacy,
James began quietly practicing his own signature at the dining room table and went on to
hand write his first book. From his earliest recollections of his grandfather’s farm in the
Azores to a snippet of his daily life today, James shows how a life powered by commitment,
hard work and determination can redefine a person at any age.
PLEASE NOTE: James caught a case of writer’s cramp signing his books. He needs to rest for a while to regain his energy. The best we can do for now is stamp his signature. Pop had us make two stamps prior to his debut because he was afraid he wouldn’t have the courage to sign his books, and we’re happy to say that he never used them once! (If you own a signed first edition, his signature appears large and sprawling. Stamped signatures are in black ink only and are about 3″ in length.)
If you would like to help James, please write a review on Amazon -or anywhere we can spread his good word.
Please contact us if you are still awaiting your first edition order. We have taken care of all errors on our end, so there may have been snags of which we are unaware. Thanks so much for your patience .
