Book Cover & Preview Text
Because of a few prominen women, I was inspired to write this book. I wrote this book with the hopes that it would give other women the inspiration to do someyhing with their lives besides depend on a man or talk about each other as women often do .The first two women said to me after reading my book was that they would be to ashamed to telling and writing about themselves. I though to myself how sad it is that people worry about what others think about them. My reply to them. Tina Turner did not get where she is today by being to ashamed to tell the world how Ike Turner beat her and abused drugs. Terry McMillan going on the Oprah show telling the world about her story. Also Dr.Maya Angelou who also was not ashamed to write. The next recognition of acknowledgement is given to myself Cathy Miles for having the courage to write my first book.

About the Book

Poochie’s favorite foods were red beans and rice, neck bones, gumbo with potato salad, and almost always, anytime, fried chicken. His favorite musical selections were “Tenderly”, by Nat King Cole and “When A Man Loves A Woman”, by Percy Sledge. His favorite past time was taking care of his dogs or getting someone else to take care of them. Either way, as long as the dogs had someone to look after them; he enjoyed having more than one at a time.
Poochie was a quiet man who kept to himself most of the time. And the rest of the time you never knew what he was thinking, even if you asked him. He could look you dead in the face, without batting an eye, and tell you the biggest lie, while he held a wide smile on his face. This was not so bad. The bad part was that he was able to make you think that you should believe him. Many adults were very reserved about their opinions of Poochie, but the love he had for children was known by adults and children, alike.
