From this issue
Born and raised in Southern Indiana as the youngest daughter in a large, lively family, Becky Wood has always believed the glass is half full, trusting that there's purpose in every experience. It's this can-do attitude and her long-instilled faith which have equipped Wood to navigate life's obstacles with resilience and hope.
