Aura Leigh Deanna Ray

It was the spring of 1935. It seemed a wonderful time to grow up in the cozy, country town of Flanary. Little could one realize that soon everything they took for granted would change and could never be the same. The depression rages, death occurs in the home place and the women are left to adapt as they had no choice. Aura Leigh viewed her first look at life through a child's eyes and later as a beautiful young woman with so many hopes and dreams. Later she descends through the journeys of mental hell; she struggled to find her way out. This is an empowering story of one woman's journey through life, her courage to face the repercussions of the choices she made and the strength to not only survive, but to actually live again.
