When Your World Turns Upside Down

By Keinya Graves

"By the time you graduate, you will know more about your lives and the lives of the ones that have come before you than you ever wanted to know. You will have delved into the depths of the stories that have passed down in your family's history. By the time you leave you will know more about your own history. The things you believed to be old wives tales; will become real to you. You will hear the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation about your Great-Great Uncle Melvin who traveled the hills of the Wild West and killed more Indians than he did wolves; your Great Aunt Marian, who worked the fields of a slave plantation in deep south. Or your second cousin Malcolm, who robbed twenty banks before finally being caught and hung in the middle of the court yard in a small town. And you will search to find what the actual truth is and what has been embellished over the years. You will become friends with your ancestors... and intimate with their enemies. You will feel what they felt and know what they were thinking. Welcome to Genealogy 101."The first day of Genealogy 101 was an eye-opener for Ester Robinson. What she believed would be a simple class; turned out to be the first step in changing everything she had ever known...or not known. It leads her on a path of discovering herself, her Granny that had raised her since the age of 3, and a family she had never known existed. What she thought would be the continuation of her academic excellence, turns out to be an adventure that she had only ever dreamed about.
