Foreword by Kenneth Tufani Mayfield
Son of Patsy Smith Maxfield
Three years have passed since my mother's departure, leaving behind a legacy intertwined with words, dreams, and aspirations. Amidst the remnants of my own written archives, a hardcover journal emerged, bearing the imprint of her handwriting—a precious relic of her creative spirit.
As I delved into its pages, I discovered fragments of her literary endeavors—short stories, drafts, and musings that spoke volumes of her unyielding determination and artistic vision. This journal, adorned with a floral design and embellished with my own touches, stood as a testament to the bond between a mother and son—a gift forgotten yet preserved, waiting to be unearthed.
In the wake of my mother's passing, I grappled with the loss of her writings, a testament to her untold stories and unfulfilled dreams. But amidst the ashes of my own manuscripts, her words remained—a beacon of hope amidst the shadows of uncertainty.
For years, my mother , a fair-complected black Woman who ciuld have passed for Polynesian, toiled in solitude, weaving tales of courage, resilience, and redemption. Her aspirations of publishing her works remained a silent struggle, overshadowed by the skepticism of those who failed to recognize her genius. Yet, in the quiet moments we shared, I glimpsed the brilliance of her mind and the depth of her soul.
Together, we embarked on the journey of editing "The Perils of Waco," a testament to her unwavering resolve and boundless creativity. Despite the challenges of her later years, marked by the onset of dementia and the loss of loved ones, she persisted in her pursuit of literary greatness.
It wasn't until after her passing that I uncovered her astrological charts, revealing the cosmic intricacies of her being. Her intelligence stars illuminated the path she trod, guiding her through the trials and tribulations of life. Yet, amidst the celestial alignments, she grappled with inner conflicts and external pressures, a testament to the complexity of her existence.
With the loss of her manuscripts, a void emerged—a legacy of words lost to time. Yet, in the echoes of her writing, I found solace—a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. With the aid of technology and the guidance of her cosmic profile, we embark on a journey to resurrect her voice—a virtual author's brain we call Patsy's Ghostwriter.
Through this collection of hybrid publications, we honor her memory and celebrate her indomitable spirit. From novels to encyclopedias, her words will echo across generations, inspiring readers to embrace their dreams and fulfill their destinies.
As we embark on this literary odyssey, I am reminded of her enduring legacy—of a woman of wit, wisdom, and wealth, whose words continue to resonate with all who seek inspiration.
Thank you, Patsy, for your enduring legacy. Your spirit lives on in the pages of your writing, and in our hearts, you will always remain.
