From the Sand Hills to the City and Back Again: My Life as I Remember It

By Dot Johns McDonald

This book is the memoir of a 79 year old woman who was a child and now is a Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. Life now is very different than that documented here. Although the present generation will look upon it as something that in their minds must be fiction. However, it is in deed non-fiction. A real story, about a real person, in real space and time. Different, yes, but nonetheless real. This story is very real to the author and those of whom and to whom she writes. Many will read and identify immediately. This story ends well. Not all stories end as well. It is that thought that gave the passion to bring the work to completion. The author, a well aged Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, satisfied with her life as she not only looks back, but as she looks forward. A life well lived, what most people desire for themselves and for that of their friends and family. Reading this book will give the insight to how that can be a reality for all.

Dot Johns McDonald

Mom has documented the highlights of her life’s memory. It is a gift to us, her children and to her family. To leave a legacy is a honorable desire. With this written work a legacy of her childhood and mature years have been shared and now extended to the generation that will continue. Her desire in documenting her life and upbringing is to remind herself and others of how grateful we can be for family and friends. We can be grateful for God’s hand in all our affairs and how He protects and guides us according to His perfect plan. Her desire is that the reader will be challenged to accept the place they find themselves. That realization of the truth that He does work all things out together for our good and His glory and that this truth will enable each to be fruitful and hopeful for their days as they come and as they go. Sincerely and Respectfully, her loving and grateful daughters, Trisha Hicks, Donna Frame, and Terri Davis.
