This book is kind of a continuation of my book, "When God Will Not Let Go". I have added more experiences in my early life and show how a back woods education is so much superior to an Ivey League education especially in the things that are importin.

I talk about the joy of living with what we had and not even knowing we were poor. I talk about Coon hunting and Goats milk, fishing and White Trash. I have my family tree all the way back to Ireland on my father's side and back to Germany on my mother's side. I also talk about Church, rearing children, travel and many other things. I think you will enjoy this book.
