Laurel in the Evergreens: Lorene's Story of Courage, Faith and Family: An Autobiography, Hardcover/Lorene Bromfield

Descriere

Description Creating this book has always been a lifelong dream of mine. I wanted to share my memories through words and photographs of my life, and the people, places and things that have made my life such a blessing. I have come to realize that the journey here on Earth is but a short span of time, but our eternal home is with God. Each day is a gift, an opportunity to seize whatever you can from. To help others through random acts of kindness and to love our fellow man. This is my story of courage, faith, and family. It chronicles my life growing up in the 60's and beyond after losing my parents and being raised by my older siblings. We were a pretty close knit family during those times. We stood together through thick and thin. My main goal as a young girl growing up was to finish my education and attend college, become a writer and travel the world. Throughout the book I share what challenges I faced as a "motherless child" into my young adult years. Through determination, faith, hard work and a vision, God brought me through to my "here and now." This is my story as seen through my eyes.
