The granddaughter of a slave and daughter of a sharecropper, Katie White, born in 1932, grew up on a farm near Franklin Tennessee. The second of nine children, she was guided by strong hard-working parents, influenced by the power of faith, and motivated to succeed in life through education. After receiving a doctorate degree, Katie returned to her alma mater, Tennessee State University, and became a well-respected professor, writer, and leader. During this period, she met and married Dr. Joseph White, a decorated Tuskegee pilot during World War II, a mother to two daughters. A fascinating life narrative and a book to be treasured.
