Just an Unpretentious Southern Girl, Now Woman, Tellimg Stories about Dem’ Old Colored Folks: The Stories I Tell In Prose and Poetry About My Family
Nonetheless, I'm always thinking, along with the very able assistance of my grandmother for making my happy childhood possible. All my earliest memories were that I was encircled by love. Great memories fill my head. A fun childhood days. Delightful happy birthdays. Very Merry Christmases and Easter mornings. Bliss waking to the sound of chirping yellow baby chicks. A filled Easter basket of chocolate candy bunnies and pretty Easter dresses worn to church on Easter Sundays. A delightful reminiscence

And you really are modeling the possibilities of just being able to give voice to the details. The moments. The warmth of those easter Sundays. Even going back there in your reminiscence probably roots you a little more than you would expect. Because in the telling. We sort of fortify the memory. And I feel like that's what you're doing here by speaking to us about it and the poetry of your words. It's beautiful. I wish my mom could come here and share as well

Actually, there is another book more full on the professional side, the Library Queen Up from the Reading Classroom. That's a book I'm working on. And some of the swells that I've done is kind of like chapters from that book. And then I have a murder romance in the making. Rosalinda, that's the name of that book. And so all these books are in the works. This book, though, is basically complete

You. This is truly the sweetest. I could just close my eyes and travel to somewhere I've never been to. It's a different culture, different country. Yet I could relate because there's so much about it that is so much a part of my culture, too. The love, the family, the traditions. Beautiful. Thank you for this
