OPAL: Spirit of a Woman ^Featured

On the day she was born, fate had already determined her destiny. A destiny fraught with abandonment, servitude, want, & reward.

You see, this was still "The Great Depression," & the screen door her family was shivering & sweltering behind was that same old door attached to the same old "Sharecropper Shanty" they'd started out in. But for Opal, the decision to head to California during those difficult days or stay & 'tough things out,' was what we call nowadays: ‘a no-brainer.’ Some refer to it as ‘frontier spirit,’ or ‘the will to go on.’ Whatever you choose to label it; in her case—those principles were simply the foundation on which she chose to live out her life. Then, after having whisked away all those "Dust Bowl" gales - she began to pay all that survivor's grit forward. Time after time through the years; into decades - she answered the call to serve others. Never mind their beliefs or their station in life, so long as the end result was to benefit those who were suffering the most.

“OPAL: Spirit of a Woman” is the story of Mary Opal Fetters/George; a courageous woman who lost her mother to childbirth at the tender age of seven, was sold into bondage by a father who no longer wished to care for her, & forced into child labor in another state for many years. In spite of all the odds against her—she championed a legacy of grace.
