Black Magnolia: An Unequivocal Southern Belle

Black Magnolia: An Unequivocal Southern Belle is the wisdom-rich story of an
African American woman raised in the unsophisticated backwoods of Mississippi.
Sherry Henderson tells her story through the beautiful Mississippi flowers that
surrounded her from home to home. Just as all those flowers came together to
create a bouquet of symbolic relationships, each chapter of her story blends with
the next to reveal the blossoming tapestry of her life. Grounded in the wisdom of life-changing seeds her great-grandmother planted into her psyche at a very early age, Sherry learned the value of being true to herself and
seeing herself as equal to others. Although a woman of few words, her great-
grandmother watered and nurtured those seeds that would ultimately produce an
amazing adult.
