A citizen of America's "Greatest Generation" transcends the decades to paint a portrait of life before the internet, shopping malls, fast food restaurants, and the family car. In a simpler time of our rural past, this farm girl approaches life with a zest for living the life intended by her Creator, one of service to her fellow human beings. From cotton field to college and beyond, Mildred Price Smith takes us along for the journey while she discovers her gift for nursing the sick. She tells of her compassion, profession, parenthood and, finally, public service - a calling which she continues to answer.
