Janet Godwin Meyer grew up in rural Georgia in the 1950?s. On her dirt road, there were 4 houses each a mile from the other. Mrs. Gayner Williams, Janet?s Tallapoosa High School English teacher, encouraged her to write, and with that advice forever ringing in her ear, throughout her lifetime, Janet wrote and kept notes and all manner of dated papers, and now, she has written a date-correct book of pain, passion, hope, and optimism.
