Dreams and Shadows of Gena Adris Fultz

It is about Gena and her family: How she overcame many hardships, of abuse in her childhood and married life. She stayed faithful to the Lord and her husband, with God's strength to help her, in spite of her start in life. Gena married in 1954, to Loyd, they have five grown children and seven grandchildren. They live in the country in a small town. I believe my book is therapeutic and inspiring. I am hoping readers will see Gena's faith in God and endurance in spite of many adversities. The family traveled across the country to find jobs, in a home made camper. Her father drove much to fast through the bad lands, while her mother yelled for him to slow down. The nine children in the back became very frightened, they kept singing "Tell it to Jesus," over many times. Arriving in Oregon on April 12th in the spring of the twins fourteenth birthday, Her parents bought a unfinished house in the city. In 1949, her mother gave birth to another child, and cared for all twelve children going on welfare. On the front cover there is a picture of a bench by the bus stop where Gena often sat, also a shadow falling across the page to represent darkness that robbed her of her childhood. Why me God she cried? One late night, thinking to step out on front of a speeding car, an easy way to end the deep-hurt inside.
