Discover in these pages how to dream, set goals, and live a life to see those dreams realized.

Come, journey with us and discover some nuggets for living fully and successfully. In this remarkable and very personal memoir, Brenda Newberry recites where she came from and the struggles she had on her way to a multitude of achievements topped by her loving family. It is the story of a woman of great faith whose high level of achievement is startling in view of the challenges she encountered....
