Crystals in My Bones: One Sickle Cell Anemia Journey [Paperback]

Bernice Brewer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 4, 2006

Bern makes "Crystals in My Bones" a biographical scrapbook most compelling by putting you in his family and relationships from the start. Informing you along the way the cause and effect of his health and fitness and throwing in a little social science. In other words, she puts you there. You see a human being like yourself who wants to be treated as you treat yourself and friends. Bern has had lots of interesting experiences starting with her thesis for Early Childhood education. An interview published in the California Advocate, a personal, "A Toe Needs its Space" Fresno Bee, and two other articles published and a short story. Some of the anecdotes are simply hilarious.

About the Author

Bern Brewer is a transplant from Philadelphia, PA via Washington DC where she met her husband, who brought her to Fresno, CA and there she resides. The tuition was so low and CSUF that she got the opportunity to get a degree in Education, and a minor in Music, her first love. While teaching she got her Masters in Early Childhood Education. Her thesis peaked her interest in writing. She has a few stories and articles published now. Now she has time to write. She has one adult daughter and one grandchild. Though she never got to be an Operatic Lyric Soprano like Marion Anderson, she still uses her beautiful voice in two choirs and in the Fresno community. Her daughter, Tarea, got her into the challenge of writing this book, by telling her husband that her mother writes and that she might help him with his concern. He had a severe case of Sickle Cell Anemia.
