Time is the one thing I've never had enough of. Ever since I was a small child, I've been conscious of how quickly time passes and have wanted to slow it down somehow. Of course I never found out how to do it, but it's worried me nonetheless. About the only way I have found to hold on to time is to write down my thoughts. So I began keeping a journal when I was fourteen. Of course I didn't call it a journal back then. It was Dear Diary. My mother subscribed to Ladies' Home Journal and that January, the magazine gave away a free mini-datebook for the New Year. Mama said I could have it, so I began sporadically recording my thoughts and activities. Some of the entries I now find laughable or embarrassing. I was a middle school kid after all. But that diary set me on a path of recording the events of my life that I have followed for many decades since then. The paragraphs in this book grew out of that idea.

Long before the written word men told stories. Stories about home and family, stories that taught life lessons, stories that revealed the values and principles that were important in life. Stories that have secrets, mysterious secrets, secrets that are only passed down from generation to generation when the time is right, stories that change lives, this was to be Grandpa Martin's legacy to me. Grandpa's Porch Swing Stories is a collection of storyteller; Dennis “Dink” Martin's most requested tall tales. The Story Man has combined his Grandpa Martin's stories along with true life experiences of growing up in the country to weave together an adventure of folklore, history, and humor. Martin's stories and adoptions have their setting in Blount County, Alabama. Some, like Grandpa's stories, have a lesson to be learned. The Story Man carries you back in time, back to the days of his youth, back to the days of listening to Grandpa's stories, and back to the days of going to his Grandma Massey's house for Sunday dinner. His unique style carries you back to a time that no longer exists, to a time when family values and principles were taught by example, back to a time you wish your grandchildren could experience. These stories will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face as author Dennis “Dink” Martin takes everyday events and turns them into stories which provoke tears, chills, and shudders – enjoy the adventure!

After finding out her military husband is missing in action, middle sister Sloane’s world crumbles as her worst nightmare comes true. She can barely climb out of bed, much less summon the strength to be the parent her children deserve. Her mother, Ansley, provides a much-needed respite as she puts her personal life on hold to help Sloane and her grandchildren wade through their new grief-stricken lives. But between caring for her own aging mother, her daughters, and her grandchildren, Ansley’s private worry is that secrets from her past will come to light. But when Sloane’s sisters, Caroline and Emerson, remind Sloane that no matter what, she promised her husband she would carry on for their young sons, Sloane finds the support and courage she needs to chase her biggest dreams—and face her deepest fears. Taking a cue from her middle daughter, Ansley takes her own leap of faith and realizes that, after all this time, she might finally be able to have it all. Harvey’s signature warmth and wit make this a charming and poignant story of first loves, missed opportunities, and second chances and proves that she is "the next major voice in Southern fiction” (Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times bestselling author).
