Movin' On: One Woman's Journey Carolyn Batzlaff

Step into the reality of one woman's journey on planet Earth and experience the emotions of her lifetime. Carrie shares events that shaped her childhood, taught her about love, loyalty and relationships, and the potential for illness and loneliness. Her memoirs introduce the reader to her world. She takes us down paths of joy and happiness stemming from goodness and unexpected surprises as well as down the paths of unimagined disappointment and change, not always deserved. Carrie was raised in traditional family values, yet is briefly enticed to explore alternative behaviors and discovers a wilder side to her personality. When Mandy, her best friend of best friends, marries and moves on, Carrie discovers a new life with Ben, ten years her senior. Throughout the book, she reminisces about their marriage and building a life together, beginning with an exciting honeymoon trip to Hawaii, to the birth of their children, to finding new friends, new careers and to events of the hereafter. Life was exciting growing up in the '50 and '60s era. Many things have changed since then and now, and many have not. This is a story that features life's transitions with all its wondrous mystery and seeks to remind us that humanity, not always what it appears to be, is always movin' on.
