Beverly Jenkins is an author like no other. This story is rich in content, exceptional in delivery. The story is Well-balanced with the external plot adding to the story of the main characters, not detracting from it. The characters truly come alive; Raven, Hazel, Braxton, Harrison, Dorrie and all the other Moreau family members , and their enemies make tbis an exciting story from start to end. I'm so glad I read this, I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much about Black History
