I had a hard time understanding the book. If I can recall, she seems to have an obsession with cats I stopped reading the book half way through.

Oh Kissy....say it ain't so!
I LOVE Tina McElroy Ansa!! I thought Ugly Ways was hilarious!!
I would not recommend ANYTHING by Roslyn McMillian, Terri sister. I personally think she was adopted because homegirl would not know a plot if it walked across the room and said "Hi, My name is Plot."
As much as it pains me to say this, I would not recommend the Emperor of Ocean Park by Stephen Graham. The book had great potential...He's an Ivy League law professor who after several successful nonfiction books decided to try his hand at fiction. It was a mystery surrounding the death of a prominent AA judge who had fallen for grace and subsequently dies under mysterious circumstances. I found the writing stilted and overwrought. He appeared to be trying to impress us with all of the 50 cent words he knew. He also used the word "for" too much, as in "She walked out of the room for she was tired of the conversation." Uhhhh ever heard of the word "because"?? The book was the first Today show book of the month earlier this summer. Hummm....matter of fact, I don't recall seeing another Today Show book of the month selection since then. Coincidence???? I think not!! LOL
