My Child

By: Mattie Gaskins

Get Ready!!! You are about to embark on the autobiographical journey of my daughter. She was born into the early 80's, the day after Christmas and since then she has been putting her stamp down on this world.

Read as I take you from day one, with me delivering her at the hospital alone to me raising her semi-alone all the way through college graduation and then with her testimony of her beating Cancer twice. Follow us, through the day of diagnosis, through being diagnosed again after being in remission for 23 months on through her Bone Marrow Transplant and beyond.

Find out what she is doing today and what she's developing for preparation and implementation tomorrow.

About the Author

Author Mattie F. Gaskins is a current South Carolina resident. She was born there and grew up with nine siblings on their parents' and grandparents' farm. She began writing at age four. Farm work was hectic and never-ending, but there were still fun and good times. Her parents instilled in them values of kindness, integrity, determination, and hard work.

After graduating high school, Gaskins moved up north and worked for the government. She loved and adored her parents; they died many years ago and still she misses them very much, especially during the holidays. Gaskins has never married. She's a single mom and her greatest accomplishment is her beautiful and intelligent daughter.

Gaskins' hobbies include cooking, cleaning, walking, puzzle books, and listening to jazz music. Gaskins is a private person and respects others' privacy. After 37 years of working for the government, she retired and moved back to South Carolina. She designed her lawn landscaping which resembles the islands. Before Gaskins became a mom, she began writing this book in 1977. Now, 39 years later, Thoughts is completed.
