Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooa!!!!! Ok I read all three of the author's books.
First, it is my understanding that the author is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (Check the book, I think its mentioned in the acknowledgements section). It is my thought that every author throws a bit of themselves in the book. For example, Eric Jerome Dickey uses some things from his life (experience in the computer field) in his books.
I think that it is ridiculous to start drawing conclusions about a fictional character. Because it is "just a book", I don't draw any conclusions about any affiliations mentioned. I think the author mentions this because she wants to give nore "background" on the friendship between Misty and Reesy. Afterall, because they are so different, a reader may want to know why they remain so close.
Mochaberry, this is just my opinion BUT would you have posted this question if she (Reesy) were portrayed as a Delta, a Zeta, a Link, a Girlfriend etc......
I think sunnydays96 summed it up pretty well.
Miss Mocha.....You gave away a lot of the story line and that may bother folks who haven't read the book yet. (Just my opinion, ok)
I think that Ms. Files first book was the better of the three. Probably because I liked Misty's character.
Note
. I am not a member of AKA. I am an avid reader.
