About

Imagine Me is a riveting story of a young black girls journey growing up in the early 60s. The setting is Detroit where dreams are formed from life experiences within a city ghetto. A coming-of-age story set during the height of the civil rights movement, this was a time of music, baseball, and fishing on the Detroit River, a time of developing and discovering identity.

The memoir gives a detailed accounting of how a self-described good girl copes with the early tragedies of childhood loss and abandonment. Growing from a child having children to the becoming of a woman who refuses to let herself quit, this is a story of strength and commitment to fulfill her mother’s directive, proving to herself - even through domestic violence, drugs, and alcohol abuse - that faith can get you out and enough faith can overcome fear.

This is a journey of hope and dreams fulfilled.
