This is a partial autobiography titled in this way because it describes the twenty years of growing up and becoming mature in my life. The portion of childhood before these times and the adult life beyond them, henceforth, make the title. Within these pages you will find rays of light shining through the darkest of times, because I know where Heaven is. It touches lightly on a vision quest and relaxes with samples of poetry. As it is a true story, most people interested in life find the heartfelt life of others interesting, therefore this book starts out in story form, ending with the specifics most would grace the beginning with. And for those animal lovers there is a short history of a horse that has become a family member. It begins when horses first grazed the open fields and ends in a new home.
