Aprašymas
This book is about a young girl who was born on a farm where her love of nature dominated her life. At age nine, her family moved from the farm where her father raised cotton to the mill village where her parents processed cotton.
Her Father often took her and her brothers to Clemson College on weekends, where they watched the ROTC rehearse. Clemson was a male university, and her ancestor was in the first graduating class. Some years later, she visited his grave in the nearby cemetery. Little did she know at the time, seeds were being planted.
When this little girl was a senior in high school, she came home one day all excited. "Dad, we had visitors from three colleges today. And I want to go to this one," she told him.
"Girls don't need to go to college," her father told her.
That statement crushed her. She tucked her dream away and got married to an alcoholic. He promised he would stop drinking when they were married--horrific choice--but she had never known anyone who drank, so she assumed he would keep his promise.
Her second marriage was every girl's dream: handsome, thoughtful, loving. It was not until her third marriage that she began to seriously contemplate the choices she had made and the effects upon her life and the lives of her children. But it was not just her choices, it was the choices of others as well--in fact, more so. So she set out upon a journey to ponder, correct, and pursue.
