My story provides an inside look at the effects of poverty, illiteracy, and societal prejudices I battle to finally become the self-aware person I am today. It speaks for many who grew up in the shadow of the Depression and into the confines of the fifties, the challenges and freedoms of the sixties, and survived the abandonment of the seventies. My story 'I Can See Clearly Now' is at once commonplace and unique. It is a story shared by many women of my time and places,, perhaps not so much in specific detail, but definitely in overall struggles, defeats, and victories. I married my eighth grade teacher in search of a better life that eventually leads me through four marriages, the birth of a son, the loss of siblings,parents, and grandparents. My journey leads me to Memphis Tennessee, where I learned my trade as a waitress in the bars and restaurants. Later on in my life I would fight for victory over a devastating disease.

My book is about growing up in the Mississippi Delta Cotton fields. My journey out of that life would take me through four marriages, the endless drudgery of the day-to-day struggle to survive. My story takes me to Memphis Tennessee where I worked in the bars and restaurants, met and served people such as Elvis Presley, Jon Voight, Ronnie Milsap, Jimmy Dean. Billy Joel, and George Klien. Fueling it all was the one constant in my young life, my 'Grandma'. and my own hunger for security, family and Love.
