Rosa Guy was my absolute favorite author as a young adult. Even as an adult, I bought her book again and reread it just to bring back memories, and still enjoyed it!

She definitely will be missed.

Rosas Guy was and shall remain my favourite childrens author. I grew up reading her books and trying to understanding the complex intergration of with my own West Indian V British life. “Ruby” my introduction to Lesbianism, “The Friends” my introduction to the true meaning of friendships, and “Edith Jackson” probably one of the main reason I work so closely with Social Services and vulnerable adults, and still hold a copy in my collection. I loved reading her other works over the years, and have yet to see an author touch me the same way.

I thank you Ms Guy for sharing your gift with the world, missing you already.
