I’m a lucky girl, now a woman, who is loved unconditionally by my uncles especially Uncle Foday Dumbuya, and my now late father, mother, and grandmother, may their blessed souls rest peacefully. Upon such experiences on how real love is, were laid the foundation of what unconditional love is. Also and most importantly is what I’ve achieved, now I’m a loving mother to my three beautiful children: Mary D. Cooper, Agnes J. Cooper, and my son Sonny E. Jonjo, who together are the icing of my life. This book would not have been possible without their love and support. Thank you all.
