About the Book

Thy Will Be Done is a lesson Hannah had to learn after her mother’s death in September, 1969. She couldn’t accept her mother’s death and lost her faith in God. “I know I had a struggle with God, but he wouldn’t let me go. I had to learn that as I was praying, I was saying to God to Let Thy Will Be Done but what I really wanted was for my will to be done. My prayers were answered but the answer was no. This was something I had to learn and my struggle with God taught me a lesson that I will never forget.” As Hannah learned to accept God’s will so evolved her talent for writing poetry and so was created Emotions in Poetry.


About the Author

The fifth of seven children, born to the late Millard and Ethel Brim of Jonesville, LA, Hannah never dreamed of being a published author. With encouragement from Curtis A. Baham, Hannah wrote her first book, “Shadow of Secrets” followed by “Not a Mumblin’ Word.” Hannah, known locally for her poetry, has combined her condensed autobiography (Thy Will Be Done), with her book of poetry (Emotions in Poetry). Hannah has one older sister, Cecile Barnes, one younger sister, JoAnn Curry and an older brother, Henry Brim still living in Jonesville. She has one son, Marvin, living in Haltom City, Texas. Three of her siblings are deceased. Hannah retired from Grambling State University and is currently employed as Secretary at St. Benedict Catholic Church in Grambling, LA.
