She would listen to her great grandmother tell her the stories of her great grandfather, and her late uncle. It was one day when she spoke up a conversation with her late uncle and her grandmother when she decided she wanted to write a book, not just an ordinary book but a book about her life. This is her very first book asigned by her favorite teacher when she was in the 12th grade(Ms. Bonnie Waring). A book for kids. A book she wanted to write.
