This collection of compelling autobiographical scenes in Eleanor Riley’s life, encased in her Memoir, “Rungs on My Ladder” speak to the fact that in every human being there is a void that can only be filled by God and brings together a significant tender message of hope, determination and faith from her pen to her readers. Rungs on My Ladder pushes past the baseline expectations of memoir as a genre and creates and celebrates an amalgamation of lucid scenes of Eleanor’s life and situates victim-hood as a conduit to triumph over circumstances that would normally break the weak and downtrodden. The memoir overflows with the trait that is Eleanor’s hallmark…honesty.

About Eleanor Riley: It is indeed incredible that the tiny island of Jamaica has produced so many gifted and world recognized individuals: artists, scholars, and athletes. Some claim that the gifts of the country’s most well-known residents are due to the water, others the food the success, for instance, of a Jamaican Olympian champion and world record holder athlete was attributed to Jamaica’s Trelawny yam! So many Jamaicans have excelled abroad, and their remarkable success should not be taken for granted, especially when one thinks of the tremendous sacrifices Jamaicans often endure in order to accomplish their goals.

Consider the many successful Jamaicans who have emerged to the USA after having left family and friends behind, and adjusting to the weather, the enormity of America, its complexities and cultural differences, to then burst out on the scene to success and acclaim in the wealthiest and most advanced country in the world is an extraordinary task.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that causes problems with breathing and digestion. CF affects about 35,000 people in the United States. People with CF have mucus that is too thick and sticky, which blocks airways and leads to lung damage, traps germs and makes infections more likely and prevents proteins needed for digestion from reaching the intestines, which decreases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food. CF affects many different organs in the body, making people with the disease more likely to develop other health conditions. Dr. Julie Torres-Johnson shares her story of how she made the choice to live in the resonance of love instead of fear after Julie’s diagnosis and the impact it had. Julie’s amazing spirit and energy is not only inspiring but a great reminder of how we can all choose to live our own lives. Julie’s energy was so contagious, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation permanently changed the name of their award to The Leslie Petrone Hopkins Women Who Take Our Breath Away Award.

All of this has been the author’s struggle while going into a spiritual awakening in his youth that now represents the author’s more coherent and practical discovery of a clearer view and understanding of the teachings and practices of Christ Jesus and holy scriptures as founded by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science.
