West Virginia Heartaches and Triumphs of a Lady Mountaineer

This story is a tribute to my Mother, Thelma Simmons Anderson. She was born in 1922 and lived through The Great Depression. This tells about the obstacles in her life and how she overcame them through hard work and her Faith in God. It tells how her family life influenced her throughout her life. It introduces her grandparents, parents, and children. It gives a peak into the lives of West Virginia Mountaineers and the beauty of the West Virginia mountains. My Mom's memories are the major source for this story.
