Description

My name is Hazel Lamb...Lindsey, but my momma called me Fireball.

I am 84 years old. I only got one year of schooling, but I am self-taught.

I worked hard all my life. I plowed fields, cut timber, raised hogs, and managed several businesses.

I got married 11 times. I buried two of my babies, but I brung up three children of my own and four step children.

I met some of my husbands - and lots of boyfriends - while playing guitar, singing, and buck dancing at country jubilees.

I survived cancer, and one of my husbands choked me to death, but my sweet momma brung me back to life.

I shot one husband a little bit, and later, when he was dying of cancer, he was stole from the hospital, and, to this day, I don't know where he is buried at.

I like to tell people I am a movie star, cause I played the wife of a coal miner in the movie October Sky.

My life started out hard with poverty and abuse, but all-in-all it's been a pretty good life.

This is my story, and I'd like for you to hear it and learn that no matter how bad things gets, you can overcome and be happy.
