55,573 story words.Rosetta and Arturo, grandparents, prepare for their six grandchildren's arrival for an extended summer stay. The planning is intense and takes 1/3 of the story! But not as intense as once the grandchildren and their parents arrive. Toss in children and adults in the seaside community preparing for the summer's Children's Festival, and it's the humor-touching event of their lives.*"The Children" completes a cycle where all the characters in the extended family and friends I feature in all my current fiction get their first chance to be themselves. ;-)Below is a bit more information on my available and planned fiction work with this very involved cast of characters.The family's story continues in the "Slumming in Paris" series.The Children's younger characters are highlights in a prequel-series of four shortstories, "The Children (Shorts)" : "The Concert" - "Art Day" - "At theBeach" - and "Slumber Party."Below is a little more about "The Children." It has been one of the most fun projects I've had the pleasure of creating.For more information on all available title, please see : amazon.com/author/felipeadanlerma**A Longer ExplanationHow can two grandparents create an adventure visit for all their children and grandchildren over about a two week period who are traveling from America to Europe to visit in participate in an inaugural children's festival? And keep them busy and safe in the interim until the festival?And most of all, how do they absorb the joys and challenges of that mass visit, knowing, that when it's time, they will once again, have to let the children go.Rosetta and Arturo, married over thirty years together, return in the third book of "A Love Story" series.It has been my intent, from the beginning of the series, to exemplify at least two things that apply to each book.One is, some of what I had touched on in my small prose poetry book, "12 Stages of Loving." That love, and thus any love story, is more than one typical age group. And what love at a certain age, might be like.The other is, that there is a romance in each book.So far, in the first two books, the romance has been primarily between the two seniors, Arturo and Rosetta. In my third book, "The Children," romance blooms across other ages, yet definitely continues for our two oldest main characters as well!With flashbacks and backstories about the love relationships dating decades back in the first two books, and with other upcoming titles in this series, the romantic-age-depiction will broaden.But this book is literally, for and about the children in our lives. Especially if one has both children and grandchildren. This has been one of the most fun books I've had the pleasure to create. Thank you so much for considering it.The previous two books in this series are "The Old American Artist" and "Rosetta."

A bestseller when it was first published, The Children is a comic, bittersweet novel about the misadventures of a bachelor and a band of precocious children. The seven Wheater children, stepbrothers and stepsisters grown weary of being shuttled from parent to parent are eager for their parents' latest reconciliation to last. A chance meeting between the children and the solitary 46-year old Martin Boyne leads to a series of unforgettable encounters.

As the big liner hung over the tugs swarming about her in the bay of Algiers, Martin Boyne looked down from the promenade deck on the troop of first-class passengers struggling up the gangway, their faces all unconsciously lifted to his inspection. "Not a soul I shall want to speak to—as usual!" Some men's luck in travelling was inconceivable. They had only to get into a train or on board a boat to run across an old friend; or, what was more exciting, make a new one. They were always finding themselves in the same compartment, or in the same cabin, with some wandering celebrity, with the owner of a famous house, of a noted collection, or of an odd and amusing personality—the latter case being, of course, the rarest as it was the most rewarding. There was, for instance, Martin Boyne's own Great-Uncle Edward. Uncle Edward's travel-adventures were famed in the family. At home in America, amid the solemn upholstery of his Boston house, Uncle Edward was the model of complacent dulness; yet whenever he got on board a steamer, or into a train (or a diligence, in his distant youth), he was singled out by fate as the hero of some delightful encounter.
