Description: Offered Pearl Bailey's autobiography "Talking to Myself" Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc. 233pages ,purple cloth 1971.Inscribed first free endpaper "To Dottie God is All Love Pearl". As the daughter of a minister, she was also a woman of faith. She said, “People see God every day, they just don’t recognize him.” She also said, “I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.” At her memorial service, her pastor gave an insightful overview of her life. He said she was born in St. Ann, Jamaica as the sixth child of Arthur & Adassa Brown. She was born with a congenital heart disease and wasn’t expected to survive infancy, but she did. Her indomitable spirit was evident all her life. She displayed a tremendous will to survive as an adult, especially when she developed terminal cancer but refused chemotherapy because the cure seemed worse than the illness. She used natural remedies and regained her quality of life. She first pursued a career in Public Health Nursing and married a Canadian, Clifford Bailey. They had two daughters and a son. They lost their son Gregory. Pastor Luke tells in her memorial service that “their greatest joy. . . and comfort. . . and peace. . . came from their Lord Jesus.” He spoke of how Pearl lived her life by Christian principles, compassion, wisdom, as well as wit. . . . All those trials and storms and struggles of life that Pearl faced did much more than teach her perseverance and bring forth character and hope in her heart and life. . . . God was able to use Pearl’s trials and struggles and storms to teach you and me perseverance and character and to bring forth hope in your heart and my heart. . . . When you and I start to get down on life and start to think that God’s not going to get me through this, Pearl’s life experience stands as proof that He will. . . . If God can indeed keep me safe, that’s when Pearl’s example of faith in the midst of suffering can and will produce perseverance in you and me.”
