Description

ALLOW ΜΕ ΤΟ REWRITE My Story
In 1991, a young girl’s life is forever altered when the two people holding her family together tragically perish in a house fire, an event covered by the Chicago Tribune. What unfolds is an inspirational story that exemplifies how we can always choose to rise above our circumstances.

As an 8-year-old, Kemisha Swan, fondly known as Mimi, was a spirited young girl who loved frolicking, dancing, and indulging in typical childhood joys. But when her grandmother and step-granddad pass away in the fire, this sets in motion a life she never thought would be hers.

As she navigates group homes and foster care, she forges meaningful connections along the way, creating a new sense of family. Kemisha also embraces novel experiences like attending school for the first time, ice skating, and other epic adventures with her newfound loved ones; she gradually rewrites her story.

We Are Our Mother’s Children is a compelling memoir that shows that we can find something beautiful even in despair.
Through vivid retelling and an engaging narrative, this memoir entertains, uplifts, and inspires readers of all ages, from to and up!
