Title: Once bitten, twice shy
Review: This melodramatic tale of an inner city family with aspirations to hobnob with the black creme de la creme is not only unmoving, tragic, and rehashed; it is also tactlessly written. The author , no doubt, has captured the plight of thousands of Blacks that live within inner cities yet who strive for lifes pleasantries. What occurs in this novel, however, is a sad depiction of self-loathnig by the father, shameless abuse, and the demeaning of the Black church. A more appropriate title for this book would probably be hell on earth: a silent plea for salvation.
