Life and Times of a Survivor: Before, During, and After Vietnam

Basically, my book is a brief autobiography. I was the oldest of seven children and had three brothers and three sisters. When my mother introduced me to people, she would say, "This is my oldest child." I eventually asked her to say "my first born" so I wouldn't sound so old! I had many amazing experiences growing up, and was able to work at a variety of different jobs in my adult life, learning many valuable lessons at each one. My husband and my children were the center of my life and I was so blessed to have them. I was a widow for twenty-seven years when I was fortunate enough to meet the second love of my life--Donnie and I were married last October 28th, after a year of dating. Donnie had been a hog farmer who lived just six miles down the road from me. He sold the hog farm a year ago in January, and now helps his brother run their cattle farm. We have been saying our morning and evening prayers that whole time and it means a lot to both of us.
