Launch
of ‘IN SEARCH OF DESTINY:
Returning
To Mother.’
The BIS Publications' Summer BookJam 2014
Cindy From BIS in Conversation with Sonia |
The day
of the launch arrived and I had little expectations as to how it
would turn out, I just silently asked that the evening be filled with
peace, fun and laughter. The day had been
overcast and as we set out
for the launch it began to rain. I did wonder if people would indeed
brave the weather and attend. I was amazed at the turn out, so many
family and friends came out to support me and I was truly humbled by
the occasion. The other author also launching his book was Alan
Sharp whose book entitled ‘Changing Generations’ was also being
showcased and as I listened to him talk about his inspiration it made
me reflect on what had driven me to write this book that took so many
years. As I have said before I wanted my history written down for
those that come after me to understand some of my experiences. When
I actually distributed my book at a family gathering it was wonderful
to see and hear the discussion and questions that came up, around
photographs and events in the book that younger family members had
not seen before. Here I was witnessing the result of years of
putting the book together. I have since had people who have read the
book communicating how it has brought back memories for them too and
that makes me happy.

I would
once again like to thank everyone for their support and
encouragement, it means a lot to me. Thank you to Bis Publications
for hosting such a wonderful event and for believing in my work. I
am humbled and truly grateful.
As
always I give thanks to Mother/Father Divine Creator for the many
blessings and guidance given to me and to my benevolent ancestors for
lighting my path.
A Message From The Publisher
The Audience Listen Carefully to Sonia |
The
audience included both Sonia and Byron's children and grandchildren,
who incidentally she wrote the book for. It was her legacy piece, a
way to pass on her families history through a book.
All at
BIS found It a pleasure to work with Sonia on this project as she
showed dedication, focus and was committed to tell her story by
completing the project on time by all means necessary.
