“We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.”

Hi JuLonda:It's so very nice to meet you. By the way, I love the quotes you've chosen and I'm also a great fan of old B&W films, too! (And I just hate when they're colorized!)
Happy Reading,
Lisette
Thanks for adding me, JuLonda. I saw you on Ali Marsman's list and clicked your profile on impulse, then read that we have some favorite authors in common! I actually did Author of the Month profiles on three of them (Kincaid, Butler and Hurston)on my blog!Have a great weekend!
JuLonda, thanks so much for befriending me. I wish the best with your reading, writing, and neurotic thinking.

Life Is Never Perfect, Even For These Four Women
New Novel tells the dramatic stories of four young ladies seeking happiness and satisfaction in an imperfect world
Never Say Never follows the enduring journeys of four extraordinary women; from early adolescence into early adulthood. Through the pages of this work, readers will meet an unforgettable quartet ~ Amanda, a successful doctor, LaNae an entrepreneur, Monique, a hairstylist, and Celeste, an educator ~ and through each of their stories, they will witness the obstacles that comes with careers, their own search for meaning and happiness, and ultimately discover their relationships that evolve around family, friendship and love. Through friendship, these women grow and evolve, both individually and collectively.
Reviewer ~ Sidne Kingston
DivineSisterz of Chicago Christian Book Club
Never Say Never... characters are faced with life’s disappointments, growing pains, heartfelt moments, true friendship, revenge, complex confusion, blessings and love that abides. Each character will have to make a decision that will shape their future for the rest of their lives.
The author provides a two-way mirror, one side, the characters and the other side, Maybe You.
A revelation packed storyline sure to hold your attention.
On a scale of 1-4, my rating of Never Say Never….. is a 4
Reviewer ~ Rasheemah
Real Divas of Literature "#1 Book Club
I recommend this book because it is not only about friendship. It shows that if you have faith and trust in God, you can accomplish anything. Ms Thomas did an excellent job with this novel. This is not your average urban book but you will not be able to put it down. Will these ladies be able to find love and happiness? Will there past be there demise?
I give this book 5 Stars

Hi JuLonda,Thank you for adding me as a friend. We seem to share some interests. I have always admired Poe's incantation-like verse, e.g. "Annabel Lee". Also, I like the silent horror movies, particularly those with Lon Chaney, Sr., such as "The Phantom of the Opera" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Have you seen those classics?
Cheers,
Carl Peter
Thanks for the add. We have a lot in common. You might like my new book. Pleasure to meet ya!Kelly Moran
