Finding My Way Home

About the Book

This book is written as a journal, recording my memories of what happened in my past, and during the times of trials and tribulations I experienced while writing it. It is extremely honest and reveals the pain I experienced while living through events and traumas that have impacted my life, making me the person I have become. I hope the true dramas and desperate incidents happening within these pages give you an intimate perspective of the life of a black female growing up in the South during the 1960’s.
