The poems and short stories in Ms. Bessie's Child will have you laughing, crying, and humbled with gratefulness. Katherine writes about life as a resident of Baltimore, Maryland, and issues that impact the African American community, all from her Christian perspective. Katherine loves her community and the tough love messages in some of the poems and short stories are a reflection of that love. "It is my prayer that you will be provoked into action, for positive change in your life, church and community. May God bless you." Katherine L. Minor
