• Donna Sundblad, author of Pumping Your Muse

  My great-grandmother’s first husband was a drinker. During one of his drunken rages, he threatened her with a gun. She ran out the door to get him away from the children and cut through a field as he fired the weapon. The bullet grazed her and she stumbled and went down. Her husband thought he’d killed her and turned the gun on himself, leaving her with four children to raise.
