"Barefoot farmer's daughter to Political Powerhouse" This was the headline on the front page of the Newspaper, The Advertiser. I was compelled to write this book to recount part of my journey in the hope that it will inspire the hearts of those who have been crushed by life and nearly given up on their dreams. The process of writing has been liberating yet painful as I have had to relieve traumatic experiences I had successfully buried. If a little girl who didn't have a pair of shoes until she was 12 years old can become a Senator, is anything impossible for you ?
