MEADVILLE, Pa., Aug. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Unfinished Journey: The Greens and McGills": an enthralling collection of unique stories of family, shows the significance of elders and the relationships which are the abundant sources of memories, events, and people who created a pathway to today. "The Unfinished Journey: The Greens and McGills" is the creation of published author Searetha Smith-Collins, a writer who has a strong belief in the value of family and underpinnings of hope and faith, which have sustained families and individuals throughout the generations.

Collins writes, "Without clear direction, without the understanding of one's past, without heroes (including women) and positive role models, without family, without connections to neighbors and a viable community, without social tranquility or firm rootedness, without at least one parent who can be at home to parent, without community control, power, and influence, without a reference group with whom to identify, without stability of one's personal world, without clearly designated leaders, without hope and a clear vision of life's expectancies and survival prospects, without a spiritual and moral centeredness, there is chaos. Where there are chaos and lack of vision, the people perish.

Without economic opportunity and outlets to release despair and anger, without a feeling of safety and security, without an unlimited future, without controls on the use of drugs, violence (including gun violence), and sexual promiscuity, without responsibility and consequences for inappropriate behavior, without responsibility as well as rights, without commonly agreed-upon expectations for structure and discipline, without religious, family, and personal values to help connect people, without concern for the collective as well as the individual, without nurture, without a circle of support from a responsible, caring parent, coach, teacher, grandparent, minister, neighbor, or community member, without someone who will take the time to reach out to make one feel special and valued, the children suffer and the people are dysfunctional. Where there is dysfunction, the people are a threat to themselves and the institution of family and society."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Searetha Smith-Collins's new book is an exquisite read that serves as a continuing legacy of culture and family tradition. It inspires captivating thought about the preservation of family history, the influence of generational continuity and consciousness, and the impact of the disintegration of family, in general perspective.

With this book, Collins aims to serve the purpose of acknowledging the importance of family in one's life as it focuses on the journey of a family that has similarities to many.

"I found Collins' book to be both informative and motivational. I think through her story it will engage other families to research and tell their stories. The more we know our stories and pass them down, we will see a positive generational impact."
Raymond H. Starkes, The Wealth Zone, Washington, D.C.
