Author Information

Mary Briggs, a biracial American woman, wrote the stories of the Jackson and the Di Angelo families based on what she wished she could have had as a member of a biracial family. She dreams of a better life, one where her family could have gotten past the difference in their culture and skin color. While the characters in her stories are fictitious, they share similarities with her family members. For most of her life, Mary Briggs worked in the garment industry in Los Angeles, California. She holds a degree in design from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, and she has been a patternmaker for most of her career. For as long as Mary can remember, she has wanted to be a designer, but when she had a child at 17 years old, her life changed. Meaning she needed to work early hours so she could be there to pick her son up from day care. Mary was a single mother with few resources, and the clothing industry gave her the opportunity to have nice clothes and make a living for herself and her son. Later, Mary was diagnosed with cancer, which allowed her the time to author a book. She has always had the desire to write and has always wanted to tell her story with a flair of success. She hopes you enjoy her take on what it could have been if her parents and in-laws could have accepted each other in a world with so many differences. In a world where our government took our taxes and did not allow us to participate in the use of hospitals, housing, and better education.
