Phenomenal Women of Color

Kayla Brown is living the classic struggle for acceptance and respect at the crossroads of her life: the upcoming senior spring dance, graduation and a new love in her life that everyone seems to dislike.  Her circle of friends includes Tamika, clearly her opposite in every conceivable way and Donovan, Tilden High School’s star athlete as well as Tamika’s boyfriend. 

“I wanted to give my adult readers a glimpse into their childhood and relive things that our youth today laugh at like the ten cent payphone, cassette tapes, and beepers,” says David L.  “Conversely, I also wanted to show my younger audience that although we live in a much more technological era, the trials and tribulations of young adulthood are pretty much has not changed at all.”

Kayla’s journey as she encounters dating, family drama, and tragedy clearly demonstrate how choices dramatically impact one’s immediate future and of those around them.  She also believes the world revolves around her and very much like a critically-acclaimed movie – everyone should be paying attention to her every move!    As in real life, Kayla, Tamika, and Donovan are engrossed in drama, danger and at times, misfortune.  Decisions are ultimately made, and as a result, repercussions are inevitable. 

“I wanted to focus on multiple characters throughout the book in order to show how they deal with their individual misfortune and the unexpected in their own unique way,” says David L.  “We’re all different in how we do things, but some things remain the same.”
