Farm Life in Alabama

In the year 1982, there lived a very poor family. They lived on a farm in Alabama. Their Mother, Susan, died from a stroke at age 35. But their father still worked on the farm. Sadly, he died at age 40 working on the farm from a heat stroke.

Then, there were the children. Emma was 15 at the time. Cooper was 11. At their young age, they had to work. Cooper stayed on the farm milking cows and feeding chickens. Emma went out to find a job at a sewing factory.

They both started out making some money. They both enjoyed their jobs so much that life started getting better. Cooper started selling eggs for $2 a dozen. The better Emma got at sewing, the more money she made! They saved all their money for necessities.

Since Emma and Cooper were able to save so much money, they bought a company called “Village Sewing Center.” They had so many customers that their income kept getting bigger and bigger. Finally, they had earned enough money to afford to hire a music producer … their dream! With time and practice, they became successful in the world of country music!

Everyone loved to listen to “Emma and Cooper, The Country Stars!” When Emma was 26 and Cooper was 22, they came out with their newest album called, “Love Don’t Break!” One thing Cooper and Emma learned: You can start at the bottom. But if you believe in yourself, you can make it to the top!
