As a child Sylvia had several dreams for her future modeling, nursing and writing, although there were few opportunities for blacks back in the 40's and 50's. After high school Sylvia married the love of her life Charles Hall. During the 70's Sylvia was hired as a school community liaison to help resolve racial tensions. At age 45 having raised eight children, seven sons and one daughter she decided to go to nursing school. As we well know life is filled with many challenges, her mother developed severe cardiac problems and her son, actor Kevin Peter Hall (Predator & Predator 2 and Harry and the Hendersons) was diagnosed with AIDS. Her time was spent traveling back and forth from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles. After her son and mother died she hit an emotional and spiritual low. It was then, she drew upon her love for writing to express her wide range of emotions. It was her faith in God and her desire to share with others that inspired her to write this book.
