About this ebook

KEEPING THE FAITH, was a quest for religious truth to end the turbulent cycle of transgressions passed down from generation to generation. As such, this work challenges the hidden pleasure of infidelity, which causes families to be separated; as well as love, trust and commitment, the struggle of the family to stay united.

Author

Bernadine C. Taylor

Come travel with the author as she takes you on a journey through one’s childhood into adulthood, where you will find memories unfold from a distressed yet cool setting of life for Celeste Brooks as Lil’ Mama. Based on the triumphant history of strong African American women, overcoming the struggle of raising a family virtually alone, Keeping the Faith, chronologically recalls how the character of Lil’ Mama survives one family crisis after another. Determined to break bondage’s of the past and future by increasing in faith, Celeste Brooks (as Lil’ Mama), candidly detail how the lifestyles of the two men, that are the most important in her life, Lester “Coles” portrayed as “Dad” and Mario Tate, her boisterous husband, stand in direct opposition to the values she has placed on “family,” along with two of her sisters, Cora and Charmaine. Remarkable and so intertwined are the turn of events that will not only capture your innermost fears, but at the same time, cultivate a peaceable frame of mind, filled with an array of splendor and excitement.
