My name is Clarice Isaac, I am 35, and I am originally from St.Louis, Missouri. I am a single mother of two lovely children, Cierra and Cameran ages 14, and 8. I see myself as a educated African American women. I am very passionate about my family, and education. I wrote this book, because I want my family to that people go through struggles sometimes, but that doesn't mean you can't learn from it, and choice to make a change. Therefore I wish that the new generation will be nothing like the past, meaning set your own goals and achieve them;so we as a nation can succeed.
