A meeting of cultures

Because I, like the protagonist of this novel, am involved in an interracial relationship, I found quite a few similarities between my experiences and hers. The novel creates contradictory emotions within the reader, making you yearn to be there with Abby yet at the same time causing you to recoil from the treatment she gets from the men in her life. I can't wait to read Sandra Scofield's other works!
