I know the story pretty well myself, grew up on a small ranch in South Florida. We got electricity when I was 14 and indoor plumbing the next year. Ain't a joke, it is very true. I listened to one of those big wood radios with a large battery that had a carrying handle. No money, but good food and family to take care that you walked the straight and narrow. Church on Sunday and Wednesday night. All day sings and dinner on the ground.
That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.
