Marguerite's Story

This is a true story of a bright promising young woman, born into poverty in the countryside of France of loving parents and a very large family. In spite of those beginnings which formed her heart and life so profoundly, this is the story of her life's journeys to adulthood and beyond.The names and places described generally have been changed to protect those described in this story. The true author shared her story with me with the purpose of providing this true story to her children and grandchildren. She hoped to give them a better understanding who she really was and stood for, and how they came to be where and who they are today partially as a result of her decisions in life.
