This book is written to help share information that teaches young girls how to celebrate one of the most precious gifts of life: a young girl’s coming of age to produce a new life herself…the flower of her age.
This memoir captures an African American woman's life in a family of nine children, as the daughter of the preacher who converted the entire family as he travelled from the Baptist to the Apostolic Pentecostal denomination. Her story explores each sibling's response as well as her own to the strict lifestyle of the Apostolic Pentecostal. She shares her evolution in establishing her own identity, growing in her own beliefs and faith in the God of her childhood.
