Synopsis "Footprints of my Life: Life as it Was"
Growing up, Joyce Osborn Wilson led a hardscrabble life. The daughter of a Kentucky coal miner who died of black lung disease, she lived without indoor plumbing for nearly twenty years. But before her father died, he taught her to face the world with grit and self-confidence and often told her, "Where there's a will, there's a way." Wilson resolved that she would find a way...one way or another. With her mother's encouragement, she left her home in Appalachia on her eighteenth birthday and never looked back. Footprints of My Life chronicles Wilson's inspiring story. She encountered great loss and pain along her life path, including her sister's murder, her mother's descent into dementia, and her own near-death experience. But she also achieved tremendous career success as a model, an inventor, a legal secretary, and a hair stylist. And at age seventy, she finally found her prince charming! With God guiding her every step of the way, Wilson continually set goals, chased her dreams, and met life head on with endless determination. Now, as you follow in Wilson's footprints, her story will help you reexamine your own journey and see the abundance of good in your life.
