Alice Dickson is a graduate of Temple University School of Nursing and St Joseph’s University with a degree in psychology. Prior to becoming an author Alice has held various nursing positions in home care, long term care facilities, hospice care and working with autistic individuals.
She has also worked with the incarcerated community through the Prison Bible Study Ministry at her church, Bethlehem Baptist, in Penllyn, Pennsylvania. Along with her husband, Roger they started Reach Out To Serve Inc, to provide financial aid to individuals and families with limited resources and focus on food insufficiency with grants.
Through her memoir, Alice hopes to show how abuse and bigotry affected her life…...but did not destroy her.
Just like Alice did, today’s minorities face similar problems to what the slaves did even after Abraham Lincoln set them free. Many were never really free.
Today the abuse of individuals, families, women, children and even of men continue to have devastating results. It is never acceptable and cannot be ignored. Alice believes there is a resurgence of attitudes and ways of thinking that draw people apart-----we can’t fix the problem without knowing what it is, and we cannot understand what is happening now without looking back at the past.
There is work to be done….but she also has hope that abuse and bigotry do not have to triumph as long as awareness can put us in a position to attack the problem.
Alice has been married to Roger for over fifty-two years. They have two children and three grandchildren and live in the First State of Delaware.
