Poems from the Delta (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798369457412)

This book portrays the highs and lows, the ups and downs of a little Black girl growing up in a rural community, and the triumphs and hardships she had to endure.

Readers may be reminded of running in the house before the street lights come on, staying in church all day, or being baptized in a lake, especially if you were raised in the same era.

She invites you to join her on this journey as she searches for her
family's origin; as she searches for my roots.

Most of all, she hopes the book inspires readers to celebrate family and the invaluable joy of being loved by grandparents. She also encourage you to have conversations with the elder members of your family. They have a wealth of knowledge about your family history.
