First one to answer correctly gets brainliest A Home Away from Home

When summer finally arrived and eighth grade ended, my thoughts turned to Grandma Rose and her small farm in South Carolina. I couldn't wait to sit with her on the porch and listen to her tell old family stories. Every summer, my parents, my younger brother and sisters, and I drove down to the farm from our apartment in Baltimore. Aunts, uncles, and cousins from other parts of the country joined us there. We all came to spend time together, share memories, and celebrate Grandma Rose's birthday.

I was named Caroline Rose after my Grandma Rose because we shared the same birthday. Grandma Rose referred to us as the "birthday gals," and we had our photograph taken together every year. This year, I was turning 15 and Grandma Rose was turning 84. In addition to having the same name and birthday, we shared other traits as well. "Caroline Rose, you're just as strong-willed as your Grandma Rose," Mama used to say to me in exasperation. I loved Grandma Rose and I wanted to be like her, so I didn't mind.
