Beloved Waters

Come Go With Me to Senegal and The Gambia Beloved Waters

This manuscript began as a series of emails I wrote at telecenters in Dakar, Senegal and Banjul, The Gambia in 2003. I emailed my friends and family back in the United States daily about my experiences while on my first trip to Africa. I received tremendous feedback. My cousin Jaymi said, "You must turn this into a book." So I did. This book is for all those bored souls, particularly graduate students and mothers of young children who long for an exciting life. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it and a whole lot more than you wanted. Beloved Waters is a modern-day "daughter of encouragement." Through humor, wit, and penchant for reciting movie lines and song lyrics, she inspires people through storytelling. Beloved Waters graduated from the Spirit School of Hard Knocks and earned several celestial degrees: an associate's degree in grace, a bachelor's degree in forgiveness, a master's degree in "call those things that be not as though they were", and a doctoral degree in integrity. Beloved Waters is also an accomplished actor, she gave an Oscar winning performance in, "A Righteous Man Falls Seven Times, and Gets Back Up Again." This is her first novel.
