For every woman who's ever felt overwhelmed and under-appreciated at Christmas comes the story of a decent woman, a widowed grandmother, respected matriarch of a big, noisy family who snaps one holiday season and decides to run away for the holidays. Little does she realize what adventures are in store.
Long time widow Sandy Forbes is breaking out this Christmas. In her 71 years on earth she has stuffed and cooked 55 Christmas turkeys, baked hundreds of pies, turned out thousands of shortbread cookies and hoisted enough pine trees in her living room to reforest the .
Her family love her. They come to her for every occasion, eating, drinking, squabbling and then leaving her with a mass of dishes and a mountain of crumpled holiday wrap. But this is the year everything changes. When she wants someone else to take over Christmas dinner, the family lays a big guilt trip on her and Grandma rebels. Sandy’s giving herself a gift this Christmas. She’s running away from home for the holidays.
The second story in The Grandma Series, Grandma Catches a Wave is now available!

Have you ever been the Head Woman during a holiday dinner? If you are a man, then you might not know about the Head Woman, but if you are a woman, then you know who the woman-in-charge is. She’s the one who owns the house everyone is visiting, cleans and decorates, cooks the dishes, and cleans up the mess. She’s usually the matriarch of the family, but in some families that no longer have matriarchs the status can alternate between female siblings.I have been the woman-in-charge during my adult life so I can tell you that being the Head Woman is stressful. I can’t imagine being the Head Woman without having the appreciation of my family. Unfortunately, that was the situation for Sandy Forbes in The Christmas Grandma Ran Away From Home by Nancy Warren. Her three grown sons were spoiled to the core, rocked with sibling rivalry, and unappreciative of the hardships their mother endured during the holiday season.
After a particularly awful Thanksgiving, Sandy asks her sons to host Christmas. They accuse her of selfishness! Can you imagine?! If my mother told me she was too tired to host Christmas, I would volunteer before she could take another breath. It is this indignation that makes Sandy decide to run away for Christmas and makes the reader root for Sandy’s happiness and her family’s increased maturity.
I honestly thought this novel was going to be silly as I was thinking of the song Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer. But the novel addressed many concerns felt by women of a mature age while harkening the meaning of Christmas: a time to express love for all of those around us. Aside from the few spelling and grammar mistakes, I would recommend The Christmas Grandma Ran Away From Home.

The Christmas Grandma Ran Away from Home The Grandma Series Book 1 edition by Nancy Warren Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
W wonderful short, but the ending was too abrupt. The author just stopped writing. A definite lead in to another book, but worth the read.
I have never given a book a top 5 star. I could not read this book fast enough. Read in one sitting. Fast read though. I am 72 and LOT$ of family issues going on, like terminal cancer of the man I have loved53 years. I want to run away almost everyday. I am blessed my son as and daughter in law hosts family dinners now for 20or so. I am blessed with loving children, grand as nd greats. This book made me laugh and reflect and was a true blessing to and for my soul. I hope many enjoy as I did.
This was a fantastic story of despair on one hand and daring on the other. Most of us have been right where Grandma was a lack of appreciation, a sense of dread at one more time around. The kids rush in, unwrap the presents, consume the meal, leave the clean up to the hostess and it is all over until they are ready this time next year. Lack of courage causes most to accept the inevitable and dream of it all being different the next time. I loved the way the story took a twist with the hint of romance, especially the plan for Hawaii. A must read for ALL!! those who give and those who take!
This is a very short read -- as advertised. But, it was really good. I guess it touches my heart strings about a woman who has grown children and feels under appreciated and overwhelmed. Oh, how many times I have wanted to run away! Not just at Christmas, either! But, this lady runs away to an adventure all on her own one Christmas. Leaving her family (of grown children) to fend for themselves. At first she feels rather guilty, but does it anyway. She has the most wonderful time and is glad she did it. I would like to see a sequel to learn what happens in her life next. I do recommend this book.
What a really cute Christmas story! I think any of us who has done the big dinner year after year sometimes wants to just run away from it all. And that is exactly what the Grandma in this book does.
I am glad that I saw the review from a fellow book blogger who also loved this book. And I see that there is a second story about Sandy that I'm reading next. This is a new to me author that I look forward to reading more from.
This is the perfect story to read and give yourself a short break from all the preparing for Christmas. It's one that I would highly recommend!
Have you ever felt overwhelmed and under appreciated during the holidays? Does your entire family take you for granted and expect you to host every family holiday dinner until you die? If any of this sounds remotely familiar, then this is the story for you.
Sandy is a seventy-two year old grandmother who has cooked fifty-five family holiday meals and she's fed up! She decides to run away for Christmas this year and let everyone else deal with Christmas dinner on their own.
There is some Christmas magic for Sandy as she has her unorthodox Christmas away from home. I can't tell anymore than that or it will spoil the story.
This was a great story. Probably a lot of you out there have felt just like Sandy more than once!
Widowed Sandy is overwhelmed at every holiday by too much work and no help at all from her relatives. She is left alone to clean up after her thankless guests wreck havoc time after time leaving behind a big mess after every big family gathering. You'd think someone would offer to help with the growing expense and overwhelming work load at least once to give Sandy a well earned break. Nope. Her selfish kids and their families just get angry when finally Sandy has had enough and announces she is NOT cooking Christmas dinner this year. Instead of pitching in, her family turn their backs on her. So, Sandy takes a vacation. Read the book to see what happens! Nice light reading with a feel good ending.
