On May 5, 2018, Cicely's grandmother, affectionately known to many as Big Ma passed away of natural cause. During the family’s bereavement time, she watched her little cousins and wondered how they were processing everything and how could she help them and other children to understand the situation and what positive could come out of it all. She then decided to pen this book 'A Letter from Grandma' which was born out of the love she had for her dear Big Ma. She hopes that you can read this book to a child or an older child can read it themselves to be comforted and encouraged during their time of loss or for those times that they may hear, smell, see or touch something that reminds them of that dear loved one.

Growing up in the small town of Maden in Turkey, Fethiye Çetin knew her grandmother as a happy and respected Muslim housewife called Seher. Only decades later did she discover the truth. Her grandmother’s name was not Seher but Heranus. She was born a Christian Armenian. Most of the men in her village had been slaughtered in 1915. A Turkish gendarme had stolen her from her mother and adopted her. Çetin’s family history tied her directly to the terrible origins of modern Turkey and the organized denial of its Ottoman past as the shared home of many faiths and ways of life. A deeply affecting memoir, My Grandmother is also a step towards another kind of Turkey, one that is finally at peace with its past.
