Marilyn Moss Rockefeller was born at the end of the Depression in West Virginia, where there was still a great deal of poverty. Yet she was raised with a wealth of values that made her a businesswoman who built her success on integrity and resilience.
In this excerpt from a longer interview, the author of "Mountain Girl: From Barefoot to Boardroom" talks about her childhood and how her dad and grandparents instilled in her the wherewithal to be a success in life.
Marilyn's father was a Seabee in the Navy, and he taught his daughter the can-do attitude he'd learned in the service; her grandparents modeled their values of sharing with others and respecting everyone.
You can purchase a copy of "Mountain Girl" directly from the publisher, Islandport Press in Yarmouth, Maine. It's eminently readable and also available on Amazon, Kindle and from your local bookstore.
