Know your past so you can prosper in the future

Reading this book made me realize that the world hasn't changed. Serena, Faith and Aisha all are looking for their place in society and each go about finding it her own unique way, using their God given talents. I'm glad I read this because it teaches about the African American authors that came before Terry, EJD and E Lynn Harris whom these authors emulate.

True to life

This book kept my interest from the very beginning because it was so true to life. I have a best friend who has had the same experience. Reading the book brought back all the feelings that I shared with her while she was going through her custody battle. She too had a manipulating husband and the court system seemed to rule against her time and time again. What a great read? I recommend it very highly.
