What's it like growing up deep in a holler in Kentucky? No, this is not a Loretta Lynne bio. After reading some of these stories, you'll learn to appreciate the finer things in life such as inside plumbing, electric heat, and your car! Feel the loneliness of growing up as an only child in an addictive chaotic family. Feel the shame of being singled out at school by teachers and students just because you're poor and unkept style. Yet be amazed and humored by it all as well. These stories touch the heart and reminds us that God has us on a journey to a better life.

This book is AWESOME! Of course I would say that since I am the author. :^) Seriously, I hope all of you enjoy my stories and the goofy photos of me and my family. They came to good use after all. These are some touching stories of my childhood struggles living in the hills of Kentucky. We never had inside plumbing, electric heat or a/c, rarely did we ever own a car, plus we spent 6 long hard depressing years living in a one-room schoolhouse which still stands today is now owned by my Uncle George. My dad was a very hard worker but rarely held a job because there are very few jobs available in Eastern Kentucky. I truly want to thank my parents and my family for inspiring me. After all, there would be no stories without them! Also I want to thank my special cousin (who's like a brother) Alonzo for being an inspiration. I have always looked up to him. May people see that smart people do exist in KY!!! LOL May God bless my family and friends...thanks again! :)
