Imagine Me is a riveting story of a young black girl's journey growing up in the early '60s. The setting is Detroit where dreams are formed from life experiences within a city ghetto. A coming-of-age story set during the height of the civil rights movement, this was a time of music, baseball, and fishing on the Detroit River, a time of developing and discovering identity.
The memoir gives a detailed accounting of how a self-described "good girl" copes with the early tragedies of childhood loss and abandonment. Growing from a child having children to the becoming of a woman who refuses to let herself quit, this is a story of strength and commitment to fulfill her mother's directive, proving to herself--even through domestic violence, drugs, and alcohol abuse--that faith can get you out and enough faith can overcome fear.
This is a journey of hope and dreams fulfilled.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Condition: Very Good. Trade Paperback. Light cover, edge, and corner wear, including a short tear at the fore-edge of the rear cover and minor curling at the corners. Two small pink marks on the lower page edge. Binding is sound and interior pages are clean. Illustrated with black-and-white family photographs. Signed and personally inscribed by author Brenda Fantroy-Johnson on the title page. Listing photos show the exact copy included in this sale. A memoir of breaking cycles and defying expectations in the face of extraordinary adversity. The author traces her path from a childhood marked by loss and instability in 1960s Detroit through teenage motherhood, domestic violence, addiction, and a near-fatal overdose to recovery, education, and a life of growing stability, accomplishment, and expanding possibilities. Her story follows the difficult process of turning her life around while raising a daughter, earning degrees in computer science and business, and building a professional and political career. Fantroy-Johnson later pushed beyond those achievements as an avid hiker and adventurer, climbing Mount Rainier, trekking to Everest Base Camp, and walking the Camino in Spain. Her experiences as a Black woman span poverty, race and social change, motherhood, faith, recovery, education, and the challenge of imagining possibilities far beyond those her early circumstances seemed to offer.
