From Rags to Riches

About the Book

From Rags to Riches is the true story of two strangers who find each other in midlife and turn rags into riches and make their Christian marriage and businesses a success. Joseph and Annette Trawick were both born in small, rural areas, Wilkinson and Hancock Counties in Georgia, approximately sixteen miles apart—only separated by pine trees, dirt, and gravel roads. Both had previous marriages and have adult children. Although they felt it was love at first sight, there were many obstacles in their path that undermined what God had set as their destiny. There were many struggles, from starting their business to maintaining their marriage and maintaining the bond between their adult children. Throughout this book, they will take you on a journey of good and ugly. Believing in the faith of God and each other, they discovered that being rich is not all about money but about love, family, health, and happiness.
