She Could Tell You the Weight of a Hog Within Three Pounds - Just by the Sound It Made Eating Some people get written off before they even begin. This is the story of one of them. A single person. An impossible situation. And the kind of quiet, stubborn determination that doesn't make headlines - but changes everything around it. No shortcuts. No luck. Just the work, the knowledge, and the refusal to quit. This is The County Record. The County Record brings you the stories history forgot - ordinary people who did extraordinary things in silence. New episode regularly.
