About the Book

A young girl, Yolanda Penn, struggles to keep her falling family together. She took it upon herself to step up and be the better person because of her love for them, but they had no interest or concern. Being the elder child, she took control to protect them, but soon realized she could not even protect herself. The silence and secrets they held inside—she couldn’t possibly know what they were capable of. Although she was smart and everything seemed under control, her suspicions lead her to believe otherwise.

About the Author

I was born in Kansas City, Missouri. My grandmother raised me until the age of eight. When she died, I went to live with my parents and seven siblings. I’m married and have three grown children and twelve grandchildren. I like telling stories, and I have found a passion in writing. I have been told I can write a book so I wrote this fiction story. I wrote a poem in 1994 called “Fantasy” and entered it in a contest that began this interest in writing. I’ve re written songs and lead them in a choir, and I draw a little.
