Born from poignant conversations with Young’s now 7-year-old daughter, Conversations with Samantha - Love your Skin aims to tackle societal pressures on conformity and reinforce the beauty of being uniquely and wonderfully made. “Samantha was asking a lot of questions about her identity, and I wanted her to understand that she is more than just her skin color. My hope is for children of all races to read this book and learn to love who they are.” 

Patricia’s second book, My Heart Matches Your Heart, also aims to tackle societal pressures on conformity and reinforces that no matter what we look like on the outside, the most important thing is that our hearts match and that we all are created the same way, even our hearts.
