"At the Tompkins Park Senior Center in Brooklyn, New York Selma Jackson created a space to fulfill a promise to a friend ""to write our stories"" so she facilitated a writing class for residents and members. She started the classes 2015 because it is her firm belief that we all have a story to share. The journey has been long, but steady and the class accepted the challenge. This book is the culmination of one of those writing classes. Not only did they want to write their stories for themselves, but they wanted to share them with the world by publishing this book."

I was very moved and found each story engaging and eye opening. I started thinking of my family and so many memories began to rush in. Thank you so much! -Donna Williams, Secretary, Age Friendly Central Brooklyn, Inc.
