This novel is a series of books titled: The Bouquet Race, Chapters 1 thru 9. Like all the books, they address the complexities of being African American in America. Essentially, they are how-to books on loving African Americans with empirical theories, viewpoints, and exercises on loving yourself after hundreds of years of trauma in a free society. So, after 8 chapters, we come to the final book titled, "Smile, but don't grin." This is when Africans and Blacks let their hair down, or pick-it-out, as it were, to laugh and enjoy how our lives do matter. How our explosive spirits contribute to our country. Where no one can make us smile like ourselves.
