Grandma Call was encouraged to write her first book, at the age of 85, after meeting Bessie at her grand-daughter's farm. Bessie sparked vivid memories of growing up on a small dairy farm during the 1930's. Comparing her life as a child with the stories that Bessie inspires today has kept her constantly amused.
