Dubose, Daisy (West)

Dirt Farmer's Daughter: From a Dirt Farmer's Daughter to a Successful Woman Dubose, Daisy (West)

There's a lot that I still have not done. A lot of places that I would like to visit. I live in America, the land that provides opportunity to be all that you can be. However, being a black woman in America, the road to success is not easy and is sometimes blocked.

During my journey to success, I used what my parents taught me. Be strong when one road is blocked; look for another way to accomplish my dreams. I always put God first in my life. Doing this, goals can be accomplished.

This book was written to encourage other young girls who become with child when they are just a child themselves, to know that they can keep their child and still be successful. It is not easy.

We were put here on earth to accomplish a mission. Life is not always what we want it to be, but we can find daily joy. Though some of us may never find a lifetime partner, God says we are never alone.

Dirt Farmer's Daughter points out the road of success, telling how one girl rose from a dirt-poor existence to earn a quarter of a million dollars a year. This book shows the challenges, the broken trust, places traveled, and people encountered through the journey. It explains how power, strength, and courage can keep you moving forward.
