What inspired you to write "Emerging...Free"?
"When I first sat down to write "Emerging...Free", all I knew was
that I wanted to write something that I would want to read---
something that would have the reader look at an idea in a
different way. Also, I wanted to write a book where the story is
relatable, a story that crossed gender, age, sex,
socio-economic, and racial lines. I chose to write a story
surrounding the issue of "parental abandonment" because it is an
issue that a lot of our youth face either directly or
indirectly. It is also an issue that does not automatically
resolve itself when one becomes an adult." Keisha Bell
The truth is...Keisha Bell's mother told her at a very young age that she should pursue a path that would allow her to touch people's souls through her words. Finally, she's listened.
