Sometimes you have to sit in the confidence of knowing who you belong to. For me, Jesus Christ has me on a path and I trust Him to complete it. He has taught me that He knows me well and plans for it.

Sample Chapter
But Zo’s time back East had given her a greater sense of who she was as a colored person. But Hattie needed to have words with her daughter today.
“Is your sister back?”
Hardy stopped and looked at her mother. Hardy was next to the oldest child for her mother. She was her father’s oldest. Unlike Zo, her skin was a rich creamy brown and her eyes matched. At 26 years old, she was the wife of a husband, John Oliver, who worked at the meat packing plant, mother of two and part time cook for a white Baptist minister. Her days and nights were full, but she also looked after her very sick mother. It was not as difficult since her oldest sister came back home. She only looked in on her mother while Zo went to town. She cooked too, because she didn’t think Zo knew how to.
“Mama, you asked me that ten minutes ago. She is not back yet. You know she has to go get the papers and sashay all over town. She need to get a job with her uppity self. She think she too good to clean and cook. What else can a woman do?”
“She got some education, Hardy. She can teach or nurse. She gonna do better than me.”
Hardy came back in the room.
“Ain’t nobody gonna do better than you, mama. You raised us, sent us to school…”
“I’m not talking about that. I mean she got some real book learning.”
“She smart, but you know that Rev Norris, is really smart too. He helped start a bible college right here in Fort Worth.”
“If I am asleep, you tell Zo to wake me up.”
Hardy knew that tone. She knew someone was going to get a whipping, even if it was just with words.
