A Grandmother's Legacy of Love.

Our Story...

A Grandmother's Legacy of Love began long before I ever sat down to finish writing it.

For more than forty years, my mother, Clotee McAfee, lived a life marked by faith, service, and an unwavering commitment to helping others. Those who knew her experienced a woman whose kindness, generosity, and servant's heart reflected Christ in the way she loved and cared for others.

Years ago, she began writing this book for my daughter Madison, her grandbaby.  Based on the biblical teachings she had instilled in me as a little girl and was actively passing down to my daughter in our everyday lives and prayer time together, she had formulated a proven blueprint to build Madison’s faith, identity, confidence in God, and a personal relationship with Him. Just as she had done for me.

My mother and I often talked about publishing these lessons one day so they could encourage not only Madison, but children everywhere.

When she unexpectedly passed away, that dream remained unfinished. As I sorted through her belongings, I found the pages she had so carefully prepared. Notes and heartfelt lessons, she had handwritten to Madison talking about wanting her to know God personally, understand how deeply He loved her, recognize that she was wonderfully made, and grow up confident in the unique purpose God created her to fulfill.

Through my tears, reading her words, I knew this was more than an unfinished manuscript; it was the continuation of her life's mission and a promise we had shared. Completing this book became my way of carrying forward the legacy she entrusted to me.

Today, A Grandmother's Legacy of Love is the beginning of fulfilling that dream. It carries forward the faith, wisdom, prayers, and love she poured into our family that have shaped my life, my success, and how I’ve dealt with every challenge I’ve ever faced, most recently, losing her, my best friend, my business partner, my role model, my greatest supporter, my prayer partner, my Cloe.

Because of those foundational lessons, I am the woman I am today. Those lessons she made sure Madison would have forever, and now children everywhere can as well.
