A Time To Remember

About the Book

Sheila Jones, a young, Black girl from a small town, Brookshire, Texas, knows what it feels like to be unloved and abused. She refuses to be trodden down and feel sorry for herself. Instead, she rises to the occasion and shows a firm determination to overcome all obstacles while fulfilling her dreams. Life for her was full of heartaches, disappointments, and setbacks. She chose to fight rather than to succumb to her dismal plight, and she made it. Now her life had meaning, and she felt validated. The road ahead led her to a much happier place and time. These are times she will always remember.

Degree in Elementary Education from Prairie View A&M University, I began teaching in Rosenberg, Texas. I taught reading to middle school students. I went back to college in 1998 and received a Masters Degree in Administration. After 32 years of service, I retired in May of 2005. Since writing is my passion, I decided to delve into it whole-heartedly. This book, Too Many Good-byes, is the results of my effort.
