When Harold Granger was sixteen, polio changed his life, forcing him to relearn how to walk. From being imprisoned in an iron lung, he fought his way back to being able to stand on his own two feet.

A self-taught mechanic, inventor, innovator, businessman, and long-time lover of the Edsel, Harold, in 1952, applied his mechanical know-how to building a very successful bus line.

From a single route, Harold’s Bus Lines expanded as the demand required, providing daily transportation for thousands of school children who attended Camilla School in Riviere Qui Barre.

The book follows Harold’s life as he grows up, faces the challenges of polio, builds his business, marries and raises a family, chronicling the ordinary events that make up his extraordinary life.

This book is about the small miracles that happen in everyday life.

Elaine Cust, the author, spent her early years in Riviere Qui Barre, living just down the road from the Grangers and babysitting their family when Harold’s wife, Audrey, started driving her own bus route.
