These Notes Journey Outward

About the Book

Life here is what you make it, or what you allow it to make of you. It is full of random, precarious things that some people would rather never chance, until fate knocks and leaves this too on their doorstep, and then what steps should be taken?

If your an old woman who see’s her time winding down, much too slowly for your own taste, then you’ve seen everything life has, and it’s none too pleasing. She sits bitter with the taste of her son’s death still fresh on her mind. No her memory won’t take that away. Out of all the things life has to offer her it won’t offer her up the one thing she asks; justice.

After near thirty years Suzanne has to reaccess her ownself after Robert (her partner) walks away and leaves her and her daughter (Zuria) to fend for themselves. Along the way she fi nds things that she’s abandoned, neglected, and prayed for.

Zuria has never really had to fi ght, but this new challenge seems to be too much. In Zuria’s eyes her mother no longer looks the same. Now she does not know where to turn, or what way she should turn. She fi nds that there are worse things in store.

Some people look and only see her trade, but there are other things; things that go farther than skin deep. For Tina there are stories hidden under her skin, but will they ever come to the surface?

Slim only knows too well what street life offers up young victims. He’s lost so much time, and that’s the one thing he deseparately wants to have back, but can never get back again. Now he struggles to go forward only he’s lost in the past, and the past is rooted close to the sweetest truth he’s ever known. As he struggles to free himself he fi nds he must pull others up along with himself along the way.

About the Author

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas where I continue to live. Currently, I am attending college where I plan to attain a degree in the teaching profession. This is my second book. The first is This I Give Can't Nobody Take It Away. The first is a book of poetry, but it was written for the same underline reason that this book was written for.

Some times the hardest thing for you to do is to do the right thing
