In 1938, a tremendous hurricane devastated southern New England, including Rocky Point Park. The shore dining hall was washed away, and the roller coaster lay in ruins. Owners began to look into other options for this beautiful 80 acres of land along the coastline of Narragansett Bay. The park's future was in jeopardy until 1948, when Providence businessman Vincent Ferla bought it and brought it back to life. He revitalized the midway and brought in new and exciting rides, and on the park's first day back, more than 35,000 people visited. The park thrived for nearly 50 years until its eventual closure in 1995. Today, this scenic spot along the Atlantic Ocean has been returned to the people of Rhode Island as a nature preserve and is flourishing once again.

As I sit here in the eighty-fifth year of my life, I think back over the years and ask myself what I have ever done to have God bless me as he has. Well, I dont have a clue, except something a pastor told me a long time ago. He said, Wes, the only way that other people will know what God has done in your life is if you tell them. So let me take you back as far as I can remember, as the song says, Lets start at the very beginning.

"Stop the car, I mean, slow down, please. Do you think there might be any work around here, Mister?" Steve Jonas is 19 years old in the summer of 1957, riding his thumb north and west. He hitches into the two-horse town of Jackson, Wyoming in a June snowstorm, and comes face to face with the Grand Teton Range, the "peaks that shine by night as by day." Jonas finds work in the National Park, building the mountain trail that is to shape the course of his coming-of-age. It is the late 1950s, a more innocent and sweeter time than the turbulent decades to come, but the realities and aspirations of a young man in summer are as always: work, adventure, romance, conflict. Characters larger than life fill his days and nights: Dick Robbins, the backcountry expert who can do absolutely anything, including fly; Nebraska cowboy Jim Burdock, with the trick of looking fast, but actually moving slow; the haunting, enigmatic Kitty, just out of reach. And towering above the others, Billy Jiggs from Driggs, Idaho, profane master of men, and timber, and (surprisingly) music. In the background are the ghosts of two free-trapping Mountain Men from the 1830s, still on the move. As Jonas finds (and occasionally loses) his way in this country of the heart, as the trail moves forward yard by yard, the seeds of his future life-trail take fire, root, and blossom.

The period up to the Cold War of the late twentieth century was a time of great social, economic, political, and religious changes. New discoveries in medicine eliminated epidemics and increased life expectancy. Inventions such as the automobile, telephone, radio, television, airplanes and rocketry revolutionized our lives. We experienced major world wars and the disaster of a great depression. Millions of people emigrated to the United States during this time, seeking personal freedom, ownership of property, stable family lives and a chance to prosper It's God's Will describes the life of an Irish immigrant girl who lived for almost one hundred years during this great period of change. Through it all she never swayed from her beliefs in a supreme being, the power of prayer, the closeness of family, and the necessity to serve her country. Her prayers, precepts and goals are still applicable today.
