Body
I was raised on the north side of Fort Worth in a section of the city known as Rosen Heights. We lived in a modest, well-kept older home near the end of the bus line on a major street that ran northwest toward Lake Worth. The house included two large bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and one bathroom. But my room was the very best of all because it kept me well separated from my two older sisters. It was the screened-in back porch which had heavy canvas on rollers that could be raised or lowered depending on the weather.
