A girl, the oldest of ten children, had a life so different than the younger children of the family. The twenty-two years separating our ages served as the inspiration to write this book, My God-Given Life. They have no idea of what "bad times" were. God and family were so important as I was growing up. The "Dirty 30's" were ravishing farms and the Great Depression had crippled most people financially. We are so thankful to have survived those tumultuous times. Four generations lived since my birth in 1934. Incredible world changes have shaped my life which I share with the readers.
