This seems like an interesting read. I do tend to read books by African American Authors, but I do not limit myself to them. I am going to add this to my list.

a co-worker mentioned this book to me and I added it to my list of potential books. Now I’ll have to move it over to the buy list… Sounds wonderful.

I would definitely read this book. I enjoy all fiction whether or not the characters look like me or not. I’ve found there is something to be gotten from every well-written book. Thanks for introducing us to this author.

Thanks so much for mentioning my book on your terrific web site. You’re right, I’m not an African-American author and there aren’t any African-American characters in the book (which has really got me thinking hard about my second novel, which I’m writing right now), but I believe you hit it exactly when you said the themes are universal and timeless. The book covers universal experiences—relationships (with spouses, kids, and friends); loss (of a baby, money, a house); love. (And someone told me the book is “hen lit” LOL, since the main character is married and over 30!) I would welcome feedback from the African American community on the book. THanks so much for including a mention of it here.
