Book Description

Publication Date: June 14, 2005

After becoming a registered nurse and leaving my home in Iowa, I venture to Rock Springs, Wyoming living with several other single nurses in a former student nurse housing facility. The Five G's Plus Two is a moving story of the events that surrounded the creation of the Heagney Family. Emery, Audrey and the five children, Glen, Gregg, Gaynell, Guy and Greer.

The Five G's Plus Two should offer laughter, hope and help to an active family, recognizing they are not alone in their quest to be all they can be on this earth. I am the mother of the Five G's and the grandmother of eight lovely children as well. (Not a throw-a-way in the bunch!) My reason for writing this is simply responding to their request.

Retirement lends opportunity to Em and I to volunteer our services in Drug Rehabilitations, Church building and Family Camps. This has been a life filled with tears, laughter and joy, concerns and rejoicing with the children reaching goals successfully. Although life deals it's own philosophy individually, our greatest t

About the Author

My writing experience has been numerous newspaper articles published in the 'opinion page', a monthly column, 'I was just thinking-by Audrey Heagney' printed in the church paper. I have a poem published in a poetry book. I am a Registered Nurse, having worked in Emergency Rooms and Surgery. My greatest accomplishment is a marriage of forty-eight years, the success of our five children and the consistency of a unified family filled with love for each other, the Lord and knowing their way back home (heaven).
