Patricia Moseley Cummings graduated from St. Francois Girls College, Trinidad, West Indies, and continued her studies in the United States at B.M.C.C. and Hunter College, New York, NY. Her Caribbean childhood nurtured her love of family, which influenced her writing of this book when she learned she was going to be a grandmother for the first time by her only child. Ms. Moseley Cummings deeply believes that all children need to be loved and to feel loved. The love and lessons she imparted to her son live on in this love letter to her grandchild.
