My favorite poems were "Sometimes" (p. 40) -- fairly universal thoughts about parenthood that I probably identify with more than a child will; and "Take A Single Black Pencil" (p. 82) -- part of a trio of poems that ends with "Now mix these colors for our songs."<br /><br />I also liked the unusual treatment of the oft-told path of the African Americans who lived the lives that produced the blues.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563267791240620084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650540633094827007.post-57210059257301291182011-05-26T16:37:38.509-04:002011-05-26T16:37:38.509-04:00I'd like to hear what others thought of this w...I'd like to hear what others thought of this work.

The writing is so skillful -- first person novels can often taint their main character with self-centerness, but the writing here portrays a very normal girl telling her story of several extraordinary circumstances. Even the ghosts seem normal. Katrina is the big problem Lanesha faces, but she shows us the African American experience starting with page one.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563267791240620084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650540633094827007.post-35342693943687204182010-11-04T00:08:22.990-04:002010-11-04T00:08:22.990-04:00It's probably a long shot but I suggest Bleedi...It's probably a long shot but I suggest Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves.

She allows them to be selfish and loving, impatient and supportive and mostly, realistic. The reader is allowed to see how young people act when their lives change and how they deal with the economic struggles that hit their families. One of the more poignant messages deals with weight and self-esteem issues. We also get to see the young ladies deal with the timely and disturbing problem of violence among girlfriends and boyfriends." ~ Angelia Vernon Menchan, APOOO BOOKCLUBHattie Hogan-Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650540633094827007.post-45216714407126872572010-11-02T14:29:39.014-04:002010-11-02T14:29:39.014-04:00I really enjoyed reading this book.
