Fifth Picture: This is the last house that Sarah Hudson-Pierce lived in before going to the Turley Children's orphanage near Tulsa, Oklahoma. This house is no longer standing but was located on a heavily wooded country road near Noel, Missouri. They had no running water, only a cistern in the yard, however, her mother feared her family would contact typhoid fever so she pulled a little red wagon down that country road to a neighbor's house to bring milk cans of water home for her family to drink. Sarah often recalls sitting on the cover of that old cistern and peering off into the woods dreaming of a brighter future. Sixth Picture: Sarah Hudson-Pierce in 1981, at the age of 33, at Mountain Home, Arkansas.

She will tell anyone today that this was a turning point to bring her out to a brighter day, now twenty-two years later. Seventh Picture: This is Sarah Hudson-Pierce at the age of 10, at the time of her Father's death. Sarah Hudson-Pierce © Sarah Hudson-Pierce 2003-2004
