Synopsis

Introduction Sickle Cell Disease not only affects African Americans, but it affects other parts of the country such as the Caribbean, Greece, Puerto Rico, India, Egypt and Canada. It’s funny that a lot of people classify Sickle Cell Disease as a “Black-only” disease. Yes it’s true that mostly African-Americans are affected by it, but it’s deeper than one race. I wrote this children’s book which will be a part of a series called “Sickle Cell Kids” because I too am living with Sickle Cell Disease. Both of my parents have the Sickle Cell Trait so therefore I was diagnosed with it at the age of one. I wanted to share my story through writing a children’s book because a lot of kids may not understand what is fully going on when they may be in pain or when they are hospitalized. Patricia’s Guardian Angel comes from a lot of real-life events that I been through as a child and my guardian angel, Catherine the Cat is actually my grandmother Catherine Britton who is now deceased. My mom always thought I was crazy when I tell her I always see a black cat in our neighborhood and at my other grandmother’s house. But deep down inside, I believe the black cat, Catherine is my guardian angel. I feel like Sickle Cell Disease isn’t talked about enough throughout the communities and I always showed interest trying to not only share my story but to continue to support it. What better way than to market this book and write this book that serves a greater cause than actually reading a children’s book; this children’s book to your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephew, cousins, etc.? It’s an educational book to educate parents, children and others about what kids living with sickle cell really go through. I suffered my most severe pain crises as a child to a point where the second pain crises I had almost killed me in 1999 at the age of twelve. People die every day fighting the battles with Sickle Cell Disease. It’s really serious to become educated on it and to know more about it and why it should be talked about more in public schools, health fairs, churches, meetings and definitely in the communities. Just like Cancer, Diabetes, Aids, Lupus, Heart disease and other diseases are talked about, Sickle Cell Disease should be too! Don’t only purchase this book and just read it, but understand it and market it and make sure you share it with other people in your community. Patrice N. Rivers

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

about the Author . . . Writing has always been a dream and a passion for Patrice which started at the tender age of nine. Starting out writing short stories, she found a new passion for poetry at fifteen. Since then Patrice has been writing poems of life’s situations and reality in this world. Her poetry has taken her places that have made her think about publishing her first book. Her dream came true in May of 2012 when Patrice published her first book, a poetry book entitled “A Collection of God’s Word and Motivation” As a book of poetry and words of encouragement, she wants to be able to speak to her situations through the art of poetry. While continuing her penmanship of poetry, Patrice published her second poetry book the following year in 2013 entitled “Lyrical Passion Tears from my Inkwell” Dealing with personal situations, she wants to tell her story and write about situations that others can relate. Her third book, which is a children’s book called “Patricia’s Trip to the Hospital” was published in 2014. As a survivor of Sickle Cell Disease, she decided to write a children book series called “Sickle Cell Kids” in honor of children living with this deadly disease. Her new children’s book, “Patricia’s Guardian Angel” will be published in spring of 2016. Also a short story called “For Kindle’s Sake” was released in February 2016 and is planning on making it a three-part series. Besides writing books, Patrice created her own magazine in 2014 called “F.U.S.E.” Starting off as a small newsletter, she decided to expand her dreams and turn it into a full-blown magazine. She wants to empower, inspire, and motivate people that have been through hard times. By writing uplifting articles, Patrice has touched several lives. She is a 2009 graduate from Virginia State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Arts in Mass Communications. On her spare time, she enjoys writing, blogging and making jewelry.
