Her stunning, and at times humorous, story is told through the words of her children, friends, admirers and Mother Ponder, herself, as they all come to grips with Carrie's final debilitating battle with lung cancer. It is the ultimate story of triumph and love; a reality tale of one woman's philosophy about life and her dedication to her family and community. Written by Tracie Dean Ponder See less
