Overview

Discover the extraordinary life and reflections of Dr. Juanita Patience Moss in this compelling new memoir - a journey through nearly a century of change in America, as experienced by a trailblazing African American educator, author, and storyteller. Born in 1932 in the heart of Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley, Dr. Moss grew up surrounded by the rich cultural tapestry of immigrant communities and the enduring spirit of the Appalachian anthracite coal region. As the daughter of a legacy shaped by resilience and hope - her great-grandfather was a 17-year-old runaway slave who joined the 103rd PA Volunteers of the Union Army when it was garrisoned in Plymouth, N.C., her life story is deeply rooted in American history, yet profoundly personal. In this inspiring collection, Dr. Moss reflects on life, family, race, and the evolving landscape of America - sharing the thoughts that came to her each morning for three years, now captured for the world to read. These intimate reflections are more than memories; they are living history, shaped by wisdom, struggle, and triumph. This book also includes heartfelt contributions from friends, some being lifelong, and family members who were moved to share their own stories in response - creating a beautiful mosaic of voices across generations. Perfect for lovers of memoirs, American history, and personal storytelling.
