2This book is about my life in the early 1960s' through the late 1970" s. I had a lot of up and down's, but I survived. It's about living with an alcoholic father and a religious mother and overcoming tragedies. I know there are a lot of people that have gone through the same or similar experiences, but this is my side of the story. I could have decided to follow my Father or Mother, but I decided to go my own way. I am sure that a lot of people can relate to this story but don't know how to put it in words or how to deal with it. This is my way of healing. I graduated from Haralson County High School in 1976. I took three medical certificate classes at West Central Technical College and finished in 2006. I am a widow with two wonderful sons, Kerry and Kevin. My hobbies are horseback riding, reading books as much as I like writing them, tennis and volleyball. I live in Tallapoosa, Georgia. I enjoy meeting new people as well as those I haven't seen in a while.
