Victoria. What must it have been like for her growing up in a black world
with a white face in the aftermath of America’s period of racial injustices?
Not accepted by her black sisters and brothers and rejected by her white

not belonging to either. What was her secret of coping? Drugs, alcohol…?

walk alone with a friend like James around. Rather than see Dana face an
unexpected pregnancy alone, he steps up and adds a whole new meaning
to the word ‘friendship.’
Mrs. Myles. There’s no love like a mother’s love. Cast aside by her
parents and banished from the small village she called home after learning
she was pregnant, Natasha creates a world of love for herself and her son,
only to have it riddled with pain, suffering, abuse and eventually, death.
William. Gay!!! So what??? Every girl needs a friend like William in her
collection. Outspoken. Brutally honest. Full of love. Seeking acceptance,
William finds much love in his small circle of friends.
Jasmine. You’re my girl. I’m your girl. And I love you. A friendship is put to
the test when there are two incredibly handsome guys involved and your
best friend walks away with both of them.
There are many more interesting characters that make this story come
alive. Read the book to meet them all.
Enjoy.
