Set in the 1960s, the story follows a ten-year-old Carole during a summer spent with her grandmother in California. Through a seemingly simple yet mysterious task involving an elderly neighbor, Carole begins a heartfelt journey to understand mercy, compassion, and how small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect of positive change. It's only years later that Carole fully grasps the life-changing impact of these acts of generosity, shaped by her grandmother’s wisdom and love.
Grandma's Bucket of Mercy is more than a children’s book; it is a multigenerational story for readers aged 9 and up - adults included - who cherish family bonds, life lessons, and the enduring power of compassion. The book highlights the universal values of mercy and forgiveness, interwoven with the generational wisdom passed down from Carole’s grandmother and mother, both of whom lived through some of the most challenging times in American history, including the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.
Robin Carole shares, “This book is a tribute to the matriarchs in my family whose strength, resilience, and love shaped my life. It demonstrates how even the smallest act of kindness can profoundly impact someone’s life - a lesson worth passing on to every generation.”
Readers will find Grandma's Bucket of Mercy to be a heartwarming celebration of family, values, and the extraordinary potential of simple acts of humanity. It’s a story that will resonate deeply with anyone who treasures family or has been touched by the wisdom of a grandparent.

A generation has passed since Carole's grandmother and mother survived the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression of the 1930s in her story, Firewood and Christmas Potatoes. Now ten-year-old Carole will spend a brief summer vacation with her grandmother during the 1960s. Carole's grandmother sends her on an adventure that involves the neighbor who lives in the apartment directly behind her.
Young Carole does not immediately understand the importance of this unusual assignment and how it will reshape an old man's life. Four years later, Carole finally grasps the meaning and magnitude of mercy when a family member of the old man shares how these anonymous deeds changed the old man's life before his passing.
Carole's grandmother knew the value of teaching this epochal lesson of mercy - a lesson that transformed her old neighbor and enlightened her young granddaughter.
