I am inviting readers into my personal space and sharing some of the "personal...traumas" I endured from a tender age, the relentless parental mobility, the "migrant loss," and the reliving of "lingering wounds," as I searched for "restorative possibilities" as well as the triumphs and successes I experienced later in life. Hopefully, by "collecting, telling, retelling [my] stories", I will find the healing and redemption that I seek. In this the last book of the series following me in my guiser journey as an author, my worldview connected with the health issues I am plagued with (and some they tried to pin on me that I didn't have), my continuous trek into the world of eating healthy foods to keep me alive and my failed attempts to discontinue the ones that will send me to an early grave, and threatening and banning my so-called friends and associated from attending my funeral in patois language, of course. Speaking of death, I also delved into reflections on the passing of my mother, Louise, and the legacy she left us, reflections on two court cases I was involved with - a paternity court case, although I am motherless, and a racially-motivated case. Other stories caught me pleading the belly, and visiting Hampton House, a former hot spot for Black celebrities. Again, I was caught up in situations dealing with larceny and robbery. One of my choosing (praedial), with unfounded accusations (a PDA), and one resulting in my seeking medical treatment because I had the audacity to wear an old, gold hand-me-down bracelet on the wrong side of the tracks in Kingston. I also faced another abduction, this one less serious than the other, my travels to the home Air Bus in Toulouse, France, my failed attempt to get into acting, and the knowledge I gained as a scribe. I hope that you will enjoy reading, not only this book, but the entire seven-book series. I was sure to provide a background in each so that no reader, or child for that matter, is left behind.
