A strong memoir of a life of overcoming - Hattie Kauffman



I just finished reading this book - started it yesterday and had to read it to the end. Her description on the cover "A memoir of Overcoming" is an understatement. To learn of her humble and impossible life growing up and see where her life took her is amazing. Most would not survive under such challenges. Hattie is an encouragement to all of us to take the chances that God places in our paths. She toiled hard throughout her adult years to work as a reporter. The lessons she learned along the way eventually led her to a strong faith in God despite the struggle of faith not having a place in her field of work. Her dear Aunt Teddy planted the seeds and Hattie eventually saw these seeds grow into a full blown love of the Lord. This book should be on everyone's reading list!
