A young girl is torn by her desire to stay home with her family and the familiarity of their village, and her desire to go to school and discover the world beyond the mountains that surround them. Every time the girl insists that she will stay, her mother repeats that she must go--that there is more to life than labor in the coffee fields. Their loving exchange reveals the struggles and sacrifices that they will both have to make for the sake of the young girl's future. The sweet, simple text captures a mother's love and her wish for a life of opportunity for her daughter.

Ten Cents a Pound is an insightful collection of actual events that shaped the life of someone born a statistic but overcame obstacles to become a steward dedicated to making a difference. The author shares wisdom and encouragement from trials, triumphs, and finding value in the lessons learned along the journey from statistic to steward. Born in an indigent family and forced to endure classism, racism, and marginalization, finding value was not easy but was key to survival. The book recounts true stories that started with picking pecans as a child for a pay rate of ten cents a pound and culminating with beating the odds to become a doctorate-level healthcare professional helping to improve odds for others. Ten Cents a Pound is a testimony to encourage anyone looking to discover self-value when fighting against the odds. No matter the level of difficulty, there is value in every trial and always a lesson to be learned.
