Author Cynthia McGee Burton, their oldest daughter, shares her memoirs of being raised by her parents with her siblings from childhood through her young adult life.

Her stories will captivate your heart and intrigue your mind as you come to know more about her and her relationship with her parents. Growing up, Cynthia's mother encouraged her to be "an independent, self-sufficient woman." Her father told her, "Being Black, being female, and being a McGee means you have to work three times harder than anyone else to be successful."
