Bryce Robertson grew up in the 1930s in West Texas, and he wasn’t aware of how little he had compared to others.His family was poor, but he thought that was the way everyone lived, and it wasn’t until later that he felt ashamed of his upbringing.But as he became older, he realized that his humble beginnings were actually a training ground for success. His pedigree gave him an incentive to try harder and achieve more than his peers.In this memoir, he shares what it was like growing up working in the fields, his early lack of self-esteem, and his growing realization that God places no one below another-and how thinking contrary can take a while to wash out of your system.He also recalls continuing a family legacy of service by joining the Navy in 1948, his experiences during the Korean War, marrying a woman that he first thought would be a short-lived romance, and pursuing a career as an oil man and a minister.Join a man whose focus on hard work, family, and God have taught him that Home Is Where the Heart Is.
