This intergenerational memoir introduces four generations of Christian, Black women who live in Chicago. The author describes lessons she's learned from her great grandmother, grandmother, and mother that helped her navigate life from her early years through her twenties. It was their strength, courage, and ability to dream that helped her as a young, homeschooled, Black child of a deceased father and single mother who hails from a low-income, poverty-stricken, drug-infested, and gang and gun violence ridden neighborhood grow up to become an educator at her childhood elementary school. She describes how she received her doctorate in education, created her own publishing company, became a self-published author, and activist for single-mother college students. In the process, realizing that no matter what life brings, God always has a plan and it is important to trust in Him and have faith in His plan.
