Born on October 8th, 1942, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to Jesse and Ella Mae High, she later moved to Philadelphia as a young adult in search of employment opportunities. At the age of 21, she married and embraced the role of a housewife, during which time her family began to take root in North Carolina; during the turbulent years of the Civil Rights Movement in America.

Her profound memories of the past significantly influenced her worldview, a legacy she was eager to impart to her children. These reflections on her life’s journey ultimately inspired her to leave America and establish new roots in Africa, a place she considered her ancestral home.

Hi Zelma!! Great to hear from you. Tell the publisher I really enjoyed reading your revelations as a Sharecroppers' granddaughter. Since we are close to the same age, it brought back memories of my early years in Missouri. I want to get copies of your book for my Cousin, Sister, Friends, in America and Kenya!!!
