What the Civil Rights Act of 1964 promised did not assist with the day-to-day struggles Mom faced. Hampered by unsuccessful marriages and relationships, and now nearing the age of forty and pregnant with her sixth child, Mom had to make a change.

Tonia's beating heart gave Mom the strength she needed to leave the volatile marriage once and for all. With an optimistic lens, Creating an Opportunity challenges you to share in the colorful imagination of Tonia's coming of age as she learns to embrace the nuances of growing up as a latch key kid in the 1970s and 80s.

Each chapter leaves you empowered to be your best self as you unobtrusively share in the misfortunes and successes of Tonia. She is quite optimistic and ready to make the best of a bad situation. To understand her deep emotions, Creating an Opportunity cleverly expands the reading experience with thought-provoking poems laced throughout the chapters. Creating an Opportunity reflects the quick wit and humor Tonia relies upon for her journey through the promises of equality and the trials of transforming into adulthood in the inner city.
