Book Description

I am a country girl born and raised. I grew up ranching, farming, hunting and finishing in a small town. I was a member of the 4H club and active in the FFA. I spent my high school days as one of the boys. I loved to go muddin’ or hit the rodeo. County Fair was the best week of the year.

At 20 I went from small town life in Oregon to the big city in Colorado. I spent 4 years in Colorado Springs. I met my husband there. I had my daughter there. In 2010 my husband got out of the Army and we headed for the backwoods life in Tennessee. This is about that journey!

I’m 27, married and the mother of a beautiful 6 year old little girl. I love my little girl she’s the center of my world. I work 3 jobs and my marriage has issues. My husband came home from Iraq missing the filter between him brain and his mouth. He won’t admit it but he has issues with PTDS. We’re barely functional on the best of days.

I’m a crafter. I love to sew and scrapbook. I read a lot.
