A collection of poignant, yet humorous, tales about growing up in the suburbs of Boston in the 1970s, Laughter Leads to Light warms the soul while providing clean comic relief. Author Cheri Wood reflects on a time before cable television, when grandma served as the Comedy Channel, and when a visit to the local farm provided more inspiration than any app on a hand-held device. Wood starts the collection of stories with a vignette recalling the sudden passing of her mother and the deep reflection that took place after her death. She then journeys back in time to share descriptive accounts of how one woman used the ingredients of love and laughter to transform various routine family settings into entertaining and heartfelt experiences. Through the writing of this memoir, Wood's mother's legacy of leading her family to lives filled with happiness and joy carries on, revealing a final message regarding her mother's life purpose.
