This is the story of a child born into a conservative fundamentalist preacher's family in Indiana.

Her journey through thirty tumultuous years was:
*within the strict regulations of the church community
*within the confines of a love-starved home
*within an unbelievable marriage

During the journey, she:
*moved quickly through school, graduating and becoming a teacher at age 19
*became a leader in the educational community
*found the true love she had sought and been denied for so long
