Every generation has its challenges, and Betty's generation was no different. Betty tells a story of a time in our countries history when women had to fight for their daily existence. This was a time when women ran head on into, "the man's world". Dispite these challenges, Betty worked to find her own way in life as family, society and ideology all press up against her; a price must be paid for every fight. Betty had an outlaw spirit, not allowing anyone to brush her off, push her aside, or hold her down, and this spirit would cost her more than she could have imagined. Betty's determination to find her own way in the world led to the discovery of her inner strength, but this doggedness not only took a childhood of fighting, it ultimately cost Betty the love of her family. "Betty was a fighter" though. She learned how to forgive and found love in her own family again.
