Grandmother: The Prayer was inspired after the author's family's loss of the matriarch of the house, Mrs. Dixie Mary Lee Pruitt-Young, in September, 2014. The author was raised by this strong matriarch from birth and never regretted it. Originally, Grandmother: The Prayer was never intended to be written, but there was indeed a powerful story behind the one prayer, Grandmother. And this particular masterpiece was sprouting up and out from a book of over 500 prayers that the author is presently working on, entitled "Sacred Prayers."
As the author proceeded to obtain a copyright for Grandmother: The Prayer, it was then that she finally realized that there was indeed a wonderful beautiful story behind the prayer. Humbly, she was so thankful that her publishing team pushed this book from her loins
It is a beautiful collection of poetic history with an awesome story behind it. Indeed, it's a story told from a little girl's perspective of how she perceived, witnessed, observed, and experienced the love, memory, and legacy of her dearly beloved Grandmother.
This recognition and commendation of worth was, is, and will forever be a little child's most humble, sincere, honest, pure, and gracious gratitude and thanks unto Almighty God for the watchful eye and tender, loving care of Grandmother, the matriarch of the house
