Thelma Battle-Buckner has chronicled a rich and arresting family history in her forthcoming literary offering, 'The Battle of a Daytime Nightmare,' which is due out April 26, 2013, the author's 81st birthday. She stitches together, brilliantly, a dazzling tapestry of her family's will to overcome whatever obstacles life's circumstance placed before it. The Battle of a Daytime Nightmare is a breathtaking account of Dr. Buckner and her family's journey from 1830 'til now-with a surprising connection to one of today's corporate giants. Her narrative exemplifies unity. It is rife with pleasant and stormy unpleasant surprises. It is penned in the plain and poetic speech, style and spirit of her culture. In some ways, the Battle-Buckner story amounts to a sharply focused snapshot of the travails of Black America, of "Making way out of no way." The substance of her life flows broad and low like a good Sunday morning sermon; it speaks of work, ties, struggle, joys, victory, religion, music and undying love, not only for her family, but for humans at large.
