To my readers
Welcome to my website! I'm Daisy Mae Byrd, a new author of three books, an artist and a retired seasoned sales person from the Jewelry retail industry. Being multi talented, I was born and raised in severe poverty, but I'm not ashamed to admit it. Along with my siblings, I grew up without a mother on a secluded farm in South Georgia in the 1950s 60s. As a teenager, I developed a burning desire to escape the cruel grasp of poverty. The mere idea of it seemed unobtainable and far fetched back then, and in many ways it still does today. Nonetheless, through the grace of God, I'm still holding on to that dream. I read some place long ago, that if you were born into poverty, there is a huge chance you'll die in poverty. I also come to know that in most cases, it's no fault of yours, it's by design. Obviously, that never broke my spirit, banished the idea or my determination to reach my goal.
Destitute or not, I've managed to complete an amazing book and art project while working a full time job and raising two daughters the past three decades. I owe it all to God that I've accomplish something tangible that will send me further on my journey toward a better tomorrow. With both books, my life's work consist of fifty eight enthralling chapters that will arouse your curiosity and place you in suspense. But it is my testimony and all of my afflictions, coupled with a few cherished moments that makes my Southern Girl duo page turners.
I also thank God every today for every moment of the thirty years I've put into my entire project, as it taught me well to value myself no matter the little value others see in me. Along with my novels I'd love to introduce my kid's book and art collection, as their compilation and drawings had been a thrill and great therapy for me during my decades of chaos, restlessness, humiliation and shame. My kids book, 'Come To The Country With Me,' is enchanting and will open your child's imagination to farm life in the old days.

My first book, Southern Girl, is a 279 page, compelling story of
my dream to escape poverty amid decades of innocence, narcissism, and helplessness much
into each life a little rain must fall. But for me, rainy days and rainy nights seemed to go on forever. In this continuing 653 page saga, I am haunted by my unsettled, abusive past. I am consumed by the very thought of haven made the privileged wealthier. Will I ever put it all behind me?
Find a quiet place to relax and read. You'll be both captivated and emotionally transfixed by the consequences of my desperate need to succeed in life. Never haven been prepared to meet life head on, will my niceness; my laid back ways; my love for mankind, God given gracefulness and southern charm be my downfall? Have I deluded myself in thinking I'll reach my goals? What is so spell-binding, so flabbergasting is suffering the ultimate humiliation of my heart's desire!!!
To be born and raised in poverty; to be naive, desperate and without a complete education is to become prey for opportunists.
Oh, what trifling webs we weave!

Girl 2
The Daisy & Lola Story
Daisy Mae Byrd
Through my abundance of faith in the highest power, the creator of all things, will I ever gather enough backbone and determination to find within myself the stamina to break the chains of evil that have held me captive most of my existence? After living on the outside looking in my whole life, will I acquire the much needed strength and stability to bring about the blissful sunshiny days and tranquil restful nights I so desperately yearned for? Will I...., will I, will I! So many questions with no answers.
I will praise thy name oh Lord for it is good. For He has delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye has seen His despair upon mine enemies . Psalms 54
earlier in my life. It's pages will reach out you and send you on a emotional roller coaster that beckons you to read all nineteen chapters, with more anarchy and disgrace to come in book 2. All my disenchantment reveals it's self below the Mason Dixon. Settle down and come along for the ride, with this heart felt story.
Decades had gone by and God protected me through it all, but through it all. But I learned the hard way that
Strangers are risen up against me and oppressors seek after my soul; They have not set God before them. Psalm 54
