What does a family look like when it's built on a foundation of faith, hope, and love?

Throughout the seasons of life, through times of struggle and of prosperity, through painful conflicts and hard-won restoration, the love of family can sustain and strengthen like nothing else.

In this honest and grateful look back over her life, Louise "Lady L" Buckner shares the joy that comes from a life of Christian commitment and service, hard work and lasting relationships, and marriage to your best friend and life-long love.

In this autobiography, Louise Smith Buckner shares about the strength of her parents and the stable home they created for their seven children during the tumultuous Civil Rights Era. She recalls the struggles of finding her true love, and of the early years of marriage and parenting, as well as the eventual rewards of hard work and self-discipline.

As she explores the relationships and roles that have given her life meaning-daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and leader-she reveals the blessings of "giving back," first to her family, then to her church and community.

Threaded throughout the chapters of Louise's life, her beloved husband John is always seen putting others first, cherishing his wife and children, and using his gifts to serve God and bless others. The foundation for each part of the Buckners' life has been a firm trust in the Lord and fellowship with His people.

Each chapter concludes with an opportunity for reflection so that the ideals that shaped Louise can take root in your life, too.
