Lina Ladonal (Randolph) Harris was born in Missouri in 1885 on the old homestead. Growing up, she heard many family stories of her forefathers going clear back to England in the early sixteenth century.

When Grandmother was young, she loved listening to the family stories of immigration, her famous Randolph cousins, pioneers walking along the mountain wilderness trails of the Allegheny Mountains, and settlers traversing almost impassable wagon trails. Families moved through Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky, while others came through the Carolina's.

Then came time for Grandmother to be the main character in her own story--her marriage, homesteading in Canada, and raising three children. All of a sudden, Grandmother was a widow.

How could Grandmother pass along her love of these stories to her grandchildren? Grandmother Ladonal had developed a strong personal faith. Could she, with God's wisdom and help, also pass along God's Word?

Grandmother was hardworking, simple, quiet, and stoic in difficult times. Follow Your Dream was Grandmother's faithful legacy. Let God be in control and follow His plan and His purpose for your life.
