Windy Hill is a book of many stories about my life and my family. It tells of:- a girl, born a 'bastard' in a small town, yet who managed to go through life not dwelling on being a victim.- a lifelong search for a real father and his approval.- a young woman who finally met the 'right man.'- a family with five daughters and two sons willing to take unbelievable risks.- an extended family, who opened their home to over two hundred kids-without public funding, but with the help of a friendly doctor, free lawyers, and the Good Lord.- a father who quit his job to follow his dream and made that dream-the American dream-come true.- and the struggles of a woman who forayed into politics, and who constantly wrestled with an unyielding bureaucracy.These stories are shared because I believe the life lessons I have learned might be helpful to others. Windy Hill belongs to many. I have just been the instrument to get the story told.
