Journey To Purpose: The Beginning of My Calling is an inspiring, deeply candid memoir detailing the life and spiritual growth of Shelia Watkins Donaldson Gentry. Raised as the middle child among fifteen siblings in rural Farmville, Virginia, Shelia recounts navigating a childhood marked by extreme poverty, family conflict, and strict traditional upbringing. From working grueling long hours in tobacco fields to finding comfort in singing acapella music and navigating the complex dynamics of a large household, Shelia’s story is rooted in perseverance. As she transitions into adulthood, she faces numerous life trials-including relational struggles, early independence, career moves in public service and law enforcement, and the devastating loss of loved ones. Through every trial and hardship, her unwavering faith in God and the guidance of strong maternal influences shape her path. Written with heartfelt honesty, Journey To Purpose serves as a powerful testament to survival, faith, divine alignment, and finding one’s true calling through life’s greatest storms.
