Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been in the making for over a decade, perhaps a lifetime. My reasons for writing about our family history are: to learn more about my ancestors, their beliefs, values, struggles, and accomplishments: and to learn about the resilience carried through the generations. I believe that I am the member of the family to do this. I also want a healing process to occur. And finally, I want this as a gift for my children and grandchildren and their descendants. The themes of my book relate to the perseverance and resilience in our family members. I have learned that darkness and light can often coexist closely, even in the same person, and I believe that staying in for the journey has resulted in many transformative experiences in my own life. I also believe that these have come as a result of my relationship with God.
