In 1923, a daughter was born to a hard-working couple in Acushnet, Massachusetts. She grew up to be the eldest of six children, a girl who helped care for her younger siblings while still finding time to study, pray, and have fun with her friends. At the age of sixteen, she met the man who would soon become her husband. Over a lifetime nine decades long, she would endure tragedies and celebrate joys, all while raising nine children and cultivating a life full of nurturing, loving, and tending to others, while also maintaining steadfast devotion to her church and her God. This is her story - the memoir of Bertha Olivier Santos.
