Delicate Seeds (Lanisa "Candi" Bennet)

by Nikida Taste

In the beginning, April 1987, twelve year-old Lanisa "Candi" Bennet and her eighteen-year-old brother Lance Bennet embark on a treacherous journey of hard knox. Like many children across the globe, they experience the rotating worlds of child and adult. Sadly resulting in mental trauma causing delicate personalities to split. The struggles, hardships, dedication and life's lessons of growing up in the inner city of Boston Mass without the safety net of parents to raise them. The evolution of their life events; the unraveling of souls walking blindly throughout life without a moral compass to guide them. In the hands of the unsavory element poses a continuous challenge for them. How will they handle betrayal, drugs, deception, jealousy, sex and most importantly....unhealthy love. Will they live to see brighter days? It is powerful and raw. It is an educational, inspirational and entertaining must- read novel mostly told in Lanisa's words...No glitz & glamour... just a story to be told.

Rise above the bullish, this is most def in my library of books.

Wow, this one was so descriptive, sometimes i didn't need it, however, i actually enjoyed reading it. I would like to see the novel into a movie. I have small nieces and nephews and i watch them to make sure they don't make the same mistakes Lanisa and Lance did. Definitely cop this, its one for your bookshelves indeed.

You will not believe what you read in this book. Lanisa and Lance are so young but they go through mad bullish. Part 2 and 3 was very interesting if that's what you want to call it because honestly the issues they have is so dam sad. This book was shocking and soooo graphic. Eye-opener on so many levels.

This book had to be tough for Nikida to write, but she did it. It was VERY interesting with each situation being a DANG shame. Get this book guys, whatevers going on around you, while your reading this book?...trust me you'll be completely removed.

*sigh* my god, this one was truly crazy, i simply couldn't put it down. So many twists and turns and the characters had much deep rooted dysfunction. I enjoyed reading it and would DEFINITELY read it again.

This book struck my curiosity when i saw it on Facebook. I read some of the excerpts and thought,i had to read it. Lots of unbelievable things happening, you have to shake your head to it. It kept my attention throughout.

If you liked the "Coldest Winter Ever" By Sista Soulja you'll love this series. I couldn't believe my eyes, most scenes will rip your heart out, make you laugh, get angry, wow, this one did it for me.

In a world where nobody cares, these are the ending results. Mean book nik, loved it.

[Courtney Dubua · Rating 4 out of 5]

I definitely liked this book, however, not able to get use to the profanity, but im sure in order to write the book in its capacity, profanity had to be used. Still a very good novel.
