About the Book

In everyone, there is a story waiting to be told. However, some stories are more urgent histories than others, some are lost in memory, others are recalled and written with indelible ink. Francis Yvonne Jackson’s recorded history exemplified the need to remember the pilgrimage of a person and a people. Come Walk with Me: From Guyana to North America, in verse, is her autobiography, a fragmented, lyrical telling of a young woman’s journey from a small country to a wider, wiser world of Chicago. Here is a loving retelling of life’s deep song, happy and sad, belonging and adapting. —O. A. Fraser Chicago, Illinois A great and commendable effort. Your creative genius has certainly shone through. It is truly “inspired”—words and symbols well chosen. —G. Jackson Shadyside, Maryland Great! Fantastic! Very original and creative. —I.Williams Pomfret, Maryland Superb! —C. Jackson Chicago, Illinois The proceeds from this book will help to support the Guyana Community Outreach Fund Inc.
