Memoirs of a Virgin, Black Mother

After thirty-six hours of labor, the head of a beautiful baby girl crowned the womb of her mother and entered the world, weighing six pounds, four ounces. Sixteen months later, water broke, the call was made, and I was speeding on my way to the hospital. With no epidural and one final, grueling grunt, out came a miracle…at one something in the morning, making his debut into the world was My Handsome. This is how most mothers’ stories began, but not mine. Though I was there and every account mostly true, the story of how I became a virgin-mother of not just one but TWO children, starts a lot differently.

The lessons gained through the author and her children’s experiences together shaped not only their lives going forward, but also their beliefs in the love of God and His direction in their lives.
