And just like those little darlings, their fierce allegiance to one another was so undeniable that except for Gina’s lanky, 5 foot 5 inch build and smooth, cocoa brown skin and a bush of crinkly black locks adorning her head, and Chrissy’s athletic 5 foot 9 ½ inch frame and wavy, flaming red Irish curls that spoke of European royalty, or the slight build of the diminutive Bobbi Li, who at 5 feet even was always eye-to-eye with Nana, and had a natural straightness to her shimmering, jet-black mane that wrapped gently around a fresh face the color of golden honey; one could easily have thought them to be siblings. This powerhouse trio was what the U.N. was intended to be, multi-cultured and the stronger because of it.

About the Book
This original work of fiction is replete with plenty of soulfully constructed images and intrigue. Additionally, it will introduce young characters who interact with contemporary themes with a design on arousing the curiosity and inciting the unbridled sense of wonder lying within us all. The familiar question in our American vernacular that will drive this and subsequent adventures of the young protagonist is, “Well, do you know what they say?” This rhetorical question opens the doors for disseminating timely, mundane, and spiritual tidbits of wisdom that, through human experience, have stood the test of time. Call them axioms, adages, or just plain and simple insight into the way life truly works, even as we allow their anecdotal audacity to guide and protects us from our negative conclusions; we can also delight in knowing that their commissions among us are infinite. Like all stories about life, the principle players in these tales are good versus evil, and in this very troubling time in the history of our species, where social media has created a Frankenstein of asocial behavior, there is a moral clause that hopefully compels every reader to see themselves and begin to think and to feel and learn while being entertained. And so it begins.
About the Author
I was born the fourth of five ragtag children into a family struggling for survival in the “Jim Crow’era of rural Talladega county, Alabama. And of these five special children , I’ve emerged as the one with a natural gift for story-telling; with this first offering being the culmination of my need to indulge that gift. My older siblings contributed mightily to my ambitions by making sure I knew my ABC’s, my numbers from 1-100, and held a nominal grasp of telling time before entering first grade. Marvel and D.C. comics can be credited with making me a ravenous consumer of the written word as well as stimulating my love for art and story-telling. Though I am God-conscious, I don’t feel the need for my content to be ‘preachy’ or that my readers should feel they will be whacked upside the head with that fact, but only that a faith-based orientation can provide some positive inflections on one’s life, and those positive impulses can inspire an amiable quality to my work. I hope to succeed in entertaining, enlightening and inspiring readers to want to read more, and more and more...peace.
