About this listen

This story begins on June 28, 1959, when nineteen year old Janet married Jake, a worldly man and eleven years her senior. Janet had high expectations when they moved into their Shotgun cottage. She imagined that they would live happily ever after. She was not prepared for her future with Jake.

Janet’s life experiences would have been devastating for most women but, she stood tall and turned each experience into opportunities to move forward faster than normal. Using the money she saved from her household budget and her sewing, Janet secretly pursued a college education.

During this time, she gave birth to two sons and earned her college degree and later earned two post grad degrees. Jake’s sudden death brought her family new challenges that they were well prepared for.

Janet’s life became more meaningful and fulfilling when she met the man that was worthy of her love. This new life had its difficult times, but Janet’s experiences, training, and skills played a major role in easing the pain that came about.

She always remembered that experiences are learning steps that you take one at a time—learning from each step.
