Preconceived Notions

by Robyn Williams

"With her first incredibly provocative literary masterwork, Robyn Williams has produced an insightful novel that candidly probes the potent dynamics of black romance. Williams melds explosive passion, eroticism, greed, violence, and pain into an electrifying and climactic entanglement. In the vein of Terry McMillans Waiting to Exhale and Connie Briscoes Sister and Lovers, Preconceived Notions powerfully explores the passions, desires and fears that erupt when a beautiful, fiery black woman and a "strong black man" fall in love. Imagany is a bright and ambitious Fisk University journalism major with a talent for dance. Elliott is the handsome, charismatic star quarterback for Tennessee State University. When they meet, the attraction is immediate; the intensity of their passion leaves their lives irrevocably changed forever. As their relationship unfolds, however, their unrivaled love is challenged by the deep, dark secrets lurking in the shadows of Imagany's past. These secrets threaten not only to tear apart the paradise they have created for themselves, but also the very soul of Imagany herself." - Regina Lynch Hudson

This book is a classic! I was captivated by the story of Imagany Renfroe when I was just out of high school and to this day, I still think of her. She has the smarts and wit, the beauty and ambition plus the coolest best friend and the hottest romance. It's a great read then and now!
