This book is a celebration of complex, but regular living that leaves its impress on all. The focus of my personal odyssey is to demonstrate how I, the progeny of multi-racial lineage, reared by an interracial couple living in an all white community had surmounted the stumbling blocks placed in my path, those pebble stones and boulders, persevered and made a place for myself in this prejudiced competitive society of ours. It is a legacy that I want to pass on to my daughters and I would like my life to be an inspiration for all young people who aspire to be more than “hangers on”.
