Crushing Soft Rubies - A Memoir

 

Price: $11.00

Janet Stickmon’s Crushing Soft Rubies is a place where spirit, culture and survival meet.  It is the story of a Filipino-African-American who is caught between the death of her parents and the desperate need to define herself -- not as an orphan but as a strong woman who is willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure that her past does not become a barrier to her future.  Janet, now a teacher and a married woman, leads us through the immense details of her story.  From her childhood home being burned to the ground, to the joys and conflicts with her Filipino family, to seeking a connection with her African-American heritage, and then to the beautiful moment of her marriage.  Janet navigates the waters of love, spirit, identity, and survival, maintaining a life filled with faith and wonder.
