My Sister, My Light A Memoir of Love, Laughter, and Growing Up Together By Deseree Williams

A Sister’s Love Through Trials and Triumphs (Dedicated to My Big Sister)

Sisters by blood, bonded by love, and strengthened through struggle Eboni & Me is a heartfelt memoir of resilience, love, and unwavering sisterhood. Growing up in Eastside San Jose, we faced hardship, eviction, and the weight of our mother’s addiction. Yet, through it all, my sister Eboni was my anchor, my protector, my everything.

From childhood laughter on Farm Drive to the pain of separation, this book captures the raw reality of our upbringing navigating life’s challenges, finding joy in the little moments, and leaning on each other when the world felt too heavy. Now, as Eboni battles lupus, my love and prayers for her are stronger than ever.

This is our story. A tribute to sisterhood, survival, and the kind of love that never fades.
