.... In Mom’s words, and in the lives she shares in this book, I see
hope. I see unexpected victory. I see the best of us, dressed in struggle.
Worn. Tired. Victorious.
The greatest human gift God gave me was one I did not earn,
nor one I asked for. The greatest gift was that He asked Joy Thomas
Moore to give birth to me. My uneven and complicated journey was
steadied by those beautiful Jamaican hands and the woman who was
willing to give it all for her children. That reality I will never forget nor understate.
But I know she did not do it alone. She could not
have. The people who surrounded her, and surrounded us, when we
needed it most, helped us through. The goal of this book is to ensure
that our story, which in essence is laced with luck, doesn’t have to
feel exceptional. Nor should the celebration of this book’s author feel
exclusionary; my hope is that it is trendsetting....
