You won’t want to put this book down once you start reading this absorbing personal story of a ' little colored girl' growing up in the South. It is a testament of great emotional strength that everyone can learn from. Mrs. Ansley talks about ther life as a child and her triumphant journey from the South to a land of hopes and dreams, 'Lansing, Michigan.' Mrs. Ansley has been working on her autobiography for the past nine years. Her one wish and only desire was to complete this book in its entirety. Her lifelong dream is to inspire, educate, and encourage people less fortunate than herself. Mrs. Ansley weathered the storm and survived the harsh realities of racial segreation that plagued the South. She was an only child raised by a loving mother who played the role of a father, a friend, and a protector, all rolled up into one. Mrs. Ansley’s story embraces the essence of her innocence and at the same time captures the spirit of a strong black woman who has worked all of her life to achieve the respect and recognition that she deserves today. Her mother taught her well; she was a quick study and learned the importance of survival skills at a very early age. Mrs. Ansley was her mother’s best and only student. She was 'In it to win it' and never once lost focus on her goals in life. She learned the meaning of 'family, respect, hard work, and determination.' She was a firm believer in 'justice and equality,' and her 'Christian Faith' was the key factor in making all of her dreams a reality. Mrs. Ansley is trully blessed, and she gives praise to 'GOD' for all that she has accomplished in her lifetime.
