About this ebook
Doris Thornton-Alexander’s story is one of resilience, and the power of God, faith, community, and family. After giving birth to her first child at age 14, Doris refused to give up on herself or a future for herself and her family. With the help of her family, church, and community, she raised her five children as a single mother, while still graduating from Southern University and attending Rutgers Summer School of Alcoholism and Cornell University Summer School of Employee Assistance Program. Even when one of her children was called home to Jesus, she refused to give up, devoting herself to her callings as a Substance Abuse Program Administrator and Counselor and International Representative (UFCW) for the ALF-CIO. At the same time, she worked hard to improve her community, serving for 12 years on the Baker School Board and four years on the Baker City Council. Her volunteer activities include membership in the Baker Pilot Club, Rotary Club, and Inter-Club Council. She is also a member and serves on the Board of Deaconesses for the Little Rock Baptist Church.
