What ever happened to the Watts babies of 1965? From a Sparrow to a Storm is an expose of the events, people, and social pressures that contributed to the Watts revolt of 1965. It is a poignant biography written with such transparency, compelling readers to see an intimate look at the untold story of the missing Watts Baby. The story is a Mothers depiction of the events that have horrific effects when cast upon her bi-racial children. It is the bond of humanity coupled with ethics that were, and still are breeched for the silent victim, the foster child. Americans who are denied justice can turn a peaceful community into one filled with an unquenchable rage. Racial oppression tied to justice and peace remains a social and economical issue that is still relevant in our inner cities today. No peace, no justice, and the two will continue to go hand in hand until the end of time in America. From a Sparrow to a Storm is an American tragedy, depicting the hostility of a revolt against a justice system that would take infant children, and imprison them. As the missing Watts Baby, a survivor of McClaren juvenile hall, and multiple foster homes, it is the circumstances within these pages that compelled me to come forward with this historic biography. The story tells of the greatest human loss, the loss of life, liberty, freedom, and family. Experiencing the depth of her tragedy and desperation, you come to see her perseverance, strength, and beauty as she slowly triumphs in faith against all odds. It is the portrayal of an American woman of color, faith, and heritage whose children are caught in the grips of the struggle for freedom in the year of 1965.
