Legacy of Resilience
()
About this ebook
This book has been in the making for over a decade, perhaps a lifetime. My reasons for writing about our family history are: to learn more about my ancestors, their beliefs, values, struggles, and accomplishments: and to learn about the resilience carried through the generations. I believe that I am the member of the family to do this. I also want a healing process to occur. And finally, I want this as a gift for my children and grandchildren and their descendants.
The themes of my book relate to the perseverance and resilience in our family members. I have learned that darkness and light can often coexist closely, even in the same person, and I believe that staying in for the journey has resulted in many transformative experiences in my own life. I also believe that these have come as a result of my relationship with God.
Patricia A. Pape
Bio of Patricia Ann Pape Pat Grover was born and raised in Aurora, Illinois, in the same hospital as her maternal grandfather and, later, her daughter. This was the beginning of her curiosity about her ancestors and their history. She currently lives in Wheaton, Illinois, where she has her main business office for Pape & Associates. Her passion is helping others, and, even at seventy years old, she still works many hours each week, doing what she loves to do. Her story revels the resilience that runs through her family and the healing that has occurred throughout her journey. She truly believes today that she is fulfilling her purpose and is exactly where she is supposed to be. This is her own story, her own memories, which she now entrusts to her grandchildren with love.
