Debra Amandola looks back at how moving to the Lake of the Ozarks as a child and building a resort shaped her as a person
'Becoming a Lake Girl and Family: Owning and Operating a Family Resort on The Magical Lake of the Ozarks' released
SHAWNEE, Kan., Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The winds of change were upon Debra Amandola's family as they moved from the city to the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri. It was January 1960, and it was the snowiest winter on record. The memories of those times shaped her in ways she never would have expected, cementing her future and her very being.
In "Becoming a Lake Girl and Family: Owning and Operating a Family Resort on The Magical Lake of the Ozarks" (published by Balboa Press), Amandola shares how her family became lake people, leading her to become the woman she is today. In fact, she so strongly become a lake girl that she has made her children and grandchildren lake people, too.
In sharing her story, Amandola reveals how her parents cultivated a strong familial structure, why they moved to the lake, and what it was like to embark on a new way of life at five years old. She also explores the financial, social, and educational challenges that came along with being people of the lake — and what it was like to build and operate a successful resort.
"This book will appeal to readers because it speaks about parenting skills and approaches, starting a business, mindfulness, positive family and living, and goal setting and achievement, Amandola says. When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, she answers, "For them to be inspired to create a positive life with tips on parenting, mindfulness, and goal setting and achievement."
