Antoinette, the unyielding woman, nicknamed Toni by her older brother, was born to a patriarch father and a subservient mother. She grew up on a New England farm where the test of her character to face down trials put upon her by her father and later in her married life would have been to much for many young woman to overcome. Her father had fled France with his parents and brothers during WW1 and setteled in Canada. After a brief marriage to a French Canadian, he moved to the United States where he settled in Rhode Island and became a citizen. It was in South County, Rhode Island where he met Emily and had seven children, one of them died at child birth. Toni was number four of the six who lived. There were four girls, but Toni was singled out to be abused mentally and was treated like a farm laborer. Later as a young attractive single adult and then as a widow with three children, the challenges on her character and patience seemed as if they would never stop. For a short while after Toni met an old boyfriend, a swave world traveller by the name of Whitey and married him, life seemed as it was going to finally be worth living, but that was not to be. This story also takes the reader through the period of WW11 and her's and her two brother’s contributions.
