Miss Velma's Journey of a Lifetime

About the Book

From an early age, Miss Velma realized her maternal purpose in life. She began a lifelong journey of nurturing children; both her nine siblings and her own four children. Her nurturing instinct carried forward into two marriages. She knew how to love and wanted that same love in return; but she never felt truly loved or spiritually connected to either husband. Hard work spanned over the majority of her life. She is a proud woman with a strong and deep Christian belief which has been the glue and fortitude that brought her through troubling times.
