Synopsis
PRECOCIOUS is a story of resilience, spanning 5 generations, brought forward into the new millennium.
It chronicles the female family history from a "herstory" point of view for a change, rather than being told from the all too often heralded patriarchal perspective.
Most of the backdrop takes place in the Midwestern, microcosm of the town of "Steelton".
CC, the main character, is the embodiment of her doting parents' pride and joy.
She encompasses the cherished hopes of the mainly maternal side of her genealogical tree.
Real life nightmares turn from dusk to dawn, as distant dreams are realized by the young girl, maturing from impish tot into a noble young lady of substance.
The early demise of the young girl's mother, is only further complicated by her father's resolve to provide his motherless child with the best life has to offer; even though he has very little of his own to contribute.
In the end, it would be lovely to say, "Love conquers all", if only that were true...

About the Author
V Leigh is a self-avowed born-again Christian, who believes in giving God all the glory for any and all personal success, through the guiding power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name, for her recently published book, Precocious. V, who is now in her sixties, is a retired registered nurse who has been married for over thirty four years to her beloved spouse, Rufus.
She is the mother of five, with three surviving offspring who each contribute to society: Eric Sr., Shanta, and Adonis Sr.
She is the loving GRNE V of six magnificently God gifted grandchildren: three grandsons (Eric Jr., Kendall, and Adonis II) and three granddaughters (Brie, Jasmine, and Kyris). She also has one great granddaughter, Aysha Lenee', and one great grandson, Rozay Amir.
Her younger sister's name is Deborah.
She also has a set of twin siblings.
V admits to early on having an affinity for words. Her altruism has been evidenced by volunteering as a "Greeter" inside the main entrance of two metropolitan Cancer Centers.
V also founded the community grassroots 501-C3 organization, F.O.M.P.I. in collaboration with a major City government and a Federal Governmental entity, to dismantle, redesign, and rebuild her neighborhood's desolate, obsolete playfield-playground.
After five long, arduous years of dedication and fervent prayer, and pine intervention, she, with the loyal support of her incorporated group members, and other civic minded neighborhood group leaders assistance, her F.O.M.P.I. coalition participated in the auspicious Rededication Red Ribbon Cutting Commemorative Ceremony.
V was motivated to address the "resilience" central theme of her book, ...by loosely basing it upon various anecdotal re-accounts, and incidents shared by candid friends and, forthcoming associates. Her hope is to inspire others globally, who have experienced similar tragedies in their respective young lives, perhaps having endured more heinous acts at the hands of closely related loved ones, but who choose to grasp the quintessence of this book, helping to cast all their cares on Him and trust God to use reprehensible, degenerate acts for His good in their lives, hopefully in turn helping those inpiduals to turn their lives around, pinely redirecting them to illuminate the path of others.
She realizes what a bold and perhaps unorthodox statement that may sound like to some, but she has been willing to bare her very soul to draw others to the Word in all of its magnificent, glorious splendor. She fully credits God, through the redeeming power of the blood of the Lamb and the Unction of the Holy Ghost, in the name of Jesus for any and all success in her life.
To God be all the glory, all the time!
