Maxine Miller –
After rereading my very own autographed copy of this book,gifted to me by Patricia herself over 20 odd years ago,I am inspired that the book is still very much alive. I would like to purchase an online copy thereof to show my children what their mother looked like as a child,thank you for using me.as the voice of the young girl telling this story, it’s made a great mark in my life Patricia.
From the little.young lady you picked in the daycare to use for pictures portraying the little girl telling the story,Maxine Miller.
