<p><strong><em>A Journey of Love, Faith, Strength and Determination</em></strong>, a literary work that is both autobiographical and biographical in nature. It recounts the Jackson family&rsquo;s ancestry to the ninth generation and the lives of fourteen siblings raised in a two-parent household. It relives the time from a life of farming that never yielded any financial benefits to a move to the North. The move was in pursuit of a better life and the fulfillment of a Mother&rsquo;s dream for her children. The siblings never dwelled on the thought that they deserved better, just believed they could do better. <strong>And better they did!</strong></p>
