Growing Up Country: I Sing Because...

As the reader journeys with the author, one finds a woman who is a lover of life, blessed with humor, and passionate about simplicity. Woven with self-affirming life's anecdotes, the reader hears the no nonsense, conversational voice of everyday living, personal obligation, and intimate relations. The author celebrates connections to a snapshot of inner hopes, dreams, desires, fears, and circumstances of a woman no different from the least unknown up to the most recognizable being. Growing Up Country speaks in volumes of cherished relationships and lost experiences. It is a story written and spoken in a way where almost anyone can relate. Who has never been filled with self doubt? Who has never been crushed by the perils of the world? Who has never regretted losing one's soul mate? Who has never had one's self image nearly destroyed? Who has never gone to the point of no return? Growing Up Country is merely the catalyst for these experiences. Being simply that, it is a book to be emotionally absorbed, feverishly considered, and dramatically devoured.
