Mom at 96, A Debut Novelist


Listen Later

Today is Mother's Day. Today my mom Gladys Duhart 

becomes a published author at 96 years young.


Mom was born in 1930 in McComb, Mississippi. She 

left at 18 for East Hartford, Connecticut. She 

married my father Lyrie in 1950. They have been 

married for over 75 years. They raised five 

children.


A few years ago, mom was sitting in a nursing home 

when she told me God spoke to her. He said she 

had stories left to tell. So mom started talking. 

I started writing. Page by page, a novel emerged.


The book is called Naomi Good. It is faith-based 

fiction grounded in the real Mississippi mom 

remembers. A Black woman in 1931 rural Mississippi 

who refuses to disappear.


Today, on Mother's Day, the book is real.


In this episode, I share mom's story, the story 

of Naomi Good, and the moment family came through 

first when my cousin Karen reserved the very 

first signed copy.


Mom is hand-signing the first 50 paperback copies 

herself. When the 50 are gone, the signed edition 

closes forever.


The bigger message for every Champion carrying a 

story they haven't put on the page yet: the page 

is still empty. You are still allowed to fill it.
