stories about her late husband Dudley's life in Overcoming the Odds
of Life: From a Humble Birth in a Rice Field to

"My husband, Dudley, started the book, but
passed before it was finished. He was my inspiration. He was a
wonderful and kind man, husband and father."
When author Dudley M. Sims passed
away, his wife Andrea jumped in to finish the book that he had
started writing. Born in 1935 during the Great Depression, he had
no idea the incredible life full of obstacles as well as blessings
he would live. His was the life of a little Cajun Boy, born in a
rice field, who at nine-and one-half years old worked as a car hop
to help support his family. Sadly, at fifteen years old, Dudley was
stricken with illness and rushed to a hospital far away from where
he lived. Diagnosed with tuberculosis, he received the second
lobectomy ever performed. Readers will be inspired to read
compelling short stories about the author's husband, from moving to
New Orleans where he met his wife,
accepting Jesus as his Savior, working various jobs in multiple
fields to forming his own non-union company, and other life
events.
Each story highlights Dudley's strength to be an overcomer, the
love he and his wife shared that she continues to feel to this day,
and the unforgettable legacy he left behind. It's a relatable
reminder that one cannot control hardships in life, but one can
control persevering and overcoming obstacles.
When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Sims
said, "My husband, Dudley, started the book, but passed before it
was finished. He was my inspiration. He was a wonderful and kind
man, husband and father."
Andrea K. Sims is a mother and
great, great grandmother. She worked with her husband, Dudley,
until he passed away. She handled bookkeeping and went everywhere
with her husband to buy properties. Together they really enjoyed
that. One of the last projects that she and Dudley accomplished
together was starting a ranch with a lot of black cattle. Since the
age of 80 years old, Sims has been enjoying developing original oil
paintings in addition to designing and building things. Now at 90
years old, with the Lord's help, she is excited to be recognized as
a published author.
