Generational Storytelling: Writing For My Grandmother and My Daughter Margrét Ann Thors on Honoring Her Icelandic Heritage in Her Debut NovelWhen my Icelandic grandmother, my amma, was in her early eighties, my mom took her to the doctor for a check-up. In recent years, I’ve inherited stacks of old letters Amma wrote from the U.S. to her sisters in Iceland. I ended the acknowledgements section with the words I whisper to my daughter every night: I will never stop loving you. A few weeks ago, when my daughter lost her first tooth, she dictated to me a letter for the Tooth Fairy. Next time, she wants to ask the Tooth Fairy to take the soul and leave the tooth.
