Sissy was born in Baltimore, Maryland, where she has lived all her life. She graduated from Western high school then studied music at Morgan State University, along with a semester with the Peabody conservatory of art. She enjoyed studying music but the academic course proved a challenge because of a reading problem stemming from dyslexia. She gave up her musical dreams and went to her second love, which was to care for animals. She worked as a zookeeper for the Baltimore Zoo for 20 years, spent over two years with the SPCA and then took a job caring for animals at Johns Hopkins research facility, which is where her story really begins, Sissy had close to a half a ton of animal equipment fall on her, trapping her for a full 45 minutes. She broke her left leg in five places and had internal bleeding. Somehow she was found and she managed to live to tell her tale, but many months of physical therapy, mental breakdown, and physical pain followed. While she was in physical therapy, Sissy decided that she wanted to give something back to her family for helping her through, which is how she came up with A Frame Named Percy. Every name in this book is a family member’s name. It was Sissy way of saying ’thank you’ for all that they have done for her. ＂ I truly don’t know what I have done without you, or where I would be now if you hadn’t been by my side. I love you all＂
