From Darkness To Life Eternal

This book is about my autobiography and who I am, where I come from, my life story, my ancestors, my cultural identity as a Black Woman of Color. I came from an abusive home–physical, psychological, and sexual abuse.

My grandparents, the late Will Graham and the late Clara Jackson, were born in the late 1800s. They worked for free and for a roof over their heads.

They were sharecroppers and picked cotton out on the fields on the plantation for $3 a week and sometimes nothing. They starved for meats and breads a lot. They planted a garden and made their own clothes. They went without shoes, electricity, TV, and air–conditioning or fans in the summer times. There was no light, and they used a wood–stove to cook their food. They had outdoor bathrooms. They were very spiritual.

This book is about slavery times and Mississippi.
