    About this ebook

    This is a story for all women. As such, it is an experience about the struggle of a little girl and the mysterious way of life full of promise, often unfulfilled. She was never discouraged from the hardships she encountered and the dreaming notions certainly infringe exhilarating fantasies. It shows the struggle of the child working hard throughout her puberty and adolescent years never giving up, challenging any difficult job beginning from a little girl into womanhood.

    Lucinda is out there living among all of you. Maybe in your homes, next door or across town, she's there.

    Hopefully she will help you overcome obstacles and mistakes she made along her path and for you to become a better instrument to shine in your life journey.

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to my inspiring and encouraging friend, Marvin, who told me not to give up completing my book. To my wonderful, patient neighbor, Jan Thomas, who typed my manuscript for publication. With God’s strength He has made all this possible.

      F IRST LET ME tell you of my childhood. It was a world of fantasy and a world of loneliness. I lived in the country with my grandmother, my mother’s mother. Grandma as I called her was a medium height, round, light skinned teacher and principal. I loved to hear the stories of how she and grandfather traveled by wagon to school. She taught three grades in one, big, cold room. The joy she had in teaching and helping boys and girls, instilled in me the desire to teach. Her mother was a white lady with blond Shirley Temple curls whose picture hung on the wall in a large picture frame.

      She told me the story of how this ten room house was added on room by room by my grandfather and her. It stood on over 45 acres of land.

      My grandfather’s huge picture hung on the wall also by my grandma’s bed. It looked so huge to me as a child. It was 20 by 30 inches high.

      I was told that I was a very bad child who had fits of anger and who fought for her rights. I had no one to protect me.

      The house in which I grew up had lots of rooms with high ceilings and a long rolling staircase. I love to climb the stairs and slide down the banisters. This was fun for me for I had very few amusements. What I enjoyed most in the evenings or snowy weather, was to listen to Grandma read from books about the flood destroying the world and looking at those horrible pictures of women, children, and men with mouth opened, fighting for their lives in the huge waves of water. She said, The next time the world would be destroyed by fire.

      I then could see in my mind people screaming in the blazes of fire.

      I would then be a part of those scenes, my grandmother and I fighting to keep our heads above the rushing waters. I would want to find out more about it, yet I was deeply afraid inside. She would then talk to me about drinking alcohol. The pictures in the book had men before drinking and after drinking looking like beasts from consuming a great deal of alcohol. My grandmother had a library of many exciting books and I enjoyed living those lives of different characters she read to me.

      My grandmother was the backbone of the
