Product Description
by Dorothy Meletta George (Author)
Like many others, living a life of substance and quality was a dream of Dorothy's. She grew up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin as the youngest of eight children. Being surrounded by a large, loving family inspired her to have a beautiful family of her own. When she met and married her high school sweetheart, Ronnie Manser, she could see her dreams coming true. Thirteen years later, Ronnie and Dorothy both had good jobs, a new home, and five children ages 2-12. Dorothy described their life together as, "busy and wonderful!" Dorothy worked part-time as a nurse at a local hospital. Ronnie always said, "It isn't for the money, but you never know when you will need your nursing skills." In January of 1970, the unimaginable happened when Ronnie passed away unexpectedly. Dorothy's resiliency shined during this difficult time with the support of her family, her ferocious determination, and her talents in the nursing field. This book is an autobiography by Dorothy Meletta George. In her own words, she takes you through her personal joys, tragedies, challenges, and triumphs. Dorothy describes her day with Rosa Parks and her unforgettable trip to Greece, and she includes some of her best family recipes. The biggest lesson she shares in these pages is the depiction of her transition from darkness to light in her personal and professional life. Dorothy illustrates how she became a Hospital Administrator in a male-dominated field, established herself as a nationally known Hospital Accreditation Consultant, and opened her heart to love again. This book implores you to ask yourself: am I living my dream?
