Hold Your Head up High You Will Go a Long Way in Life

By Elma Funches and Dean Johnson

This book is dedicated to the youngest son. This is a true story that covers a small part of the authors life growing up and shows the familys appreciation for the youngest son by putting down a part of his life in writing. Also, this book gives appreciation to his brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews and gives thanks to a host of friends.

Hopefully, many readers can identify with this book and find it to be entertaining and enjoyable to read. I am hoping young ones can see the love, joy, and happiness demonstrated in the book, as well as periods of sadness. It lets the reader know that most young ones grow up in showing love to their family and the teaching based on familys beliefs, values, and loyalty all help stir young ones in the right direction.
