When she was a teenager, Rachel G. Carrington left home and never looked back. The oldest of 11 children, she never shared a bond with her younger sisters. Later in life, she and her sisters hosted "sister sessions" with their daughters. It was in those moments that Carrington spoke of her life's multifaceted journey. Due to their sparked interest, Carrington decided to write her memoir, "The Early Years: A Memoir: Book 1" (published by iUniverse).
Throughout "The Early Years" and the rest of Carrington's series, readers learn of Carrington's early teenage years and her life as she meets her husband-to-be, a returning World War II veteran. The book reveals Carrington and her husband's journey as they make life decisions and struggle to maintain their relationship while making a life for themselves and their children.
"In our life we encountered setbacks and disappointments, but found joy and encouragement in the love we shared with one another and our family as we moved toward a life of plenty," Carrington said.
Not only is "The Early Years" about love, but it is also a success story of two parents who sacrificed everything they had for their children and, in the end, gradually nearing their goals.
