My Mother Sleeps

A young child, just three years old when her mother died; A young woman, determined to live a life of faith & strength; An older woman, expressing her wisdom, laughter, regret, love in a unique way.




All three of these women are Massell Smith. Her story begins in the 1940's. Through poetry and prose, Massell overcomes life's obstacles - she falls and gets up, dusts herself off, and starts over again. Tomorrow will always be a better way. The sun will shine. It's not easy, but her faith grows stronger each and every day. She has seen some of her dreams unrealized and others come to life in a fantastic way. When something is taken, something is given.




Through her words, Massell hopes to encourage others not to give up and to live life without regret and filled with love.
