This review is from: Girl, Naw! (Paperback)

Antoinette Walker is a wife, mother, and career woman. She's a counselor for women who suffer from various issues. As God gives her the strength to counsel these women, Antoinette is faced with issues from her past which compel her to look deep within herself and find the power to forgive.

GIRL, NAW is a powerful, realistic story of forgiveness and love. A`ngelle plants a pleasing and genuine image of Antoinette's marriage to Maurice into the mind of the reader. The reader will witness their everyday problems and how their bond is strengthened by love and prayer. GIRL, NAW delivers an inspiring message: God forgives us for our sins, therefore we must forgive in order to move on in our lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive-Must Read!, August 16, 2009

This review is from: Girl, Naw! (Paperback)

Lacricia A'ngelle's novel, Girl, Naw, is truly a testimony of the goodness of God! The title itself is addictive and magnetizing!

In Girl, Naw, the protagonist is Antoinette Walker, a professional counselor. Mrs. Walker counsels women with serious issues, while balancing a life that includes children and a husband. The women Antoinette counsels come from various walks and stages of life. She addresses the problems her clients face with patience and compassion. However, in doing so, Antoinette Walker is forced to look at the woman in the mirror, and for once admits to herself that she must come to terms with her own inner demons. Antoinette's life and the lives of her clients, reveal how the choices we make in life can effect us; sometimes positively and other times negatively.

The relationship Antointte has with her husband, Maurice, reminds me that the sanctity of marriage still exists, and not all men are out to take advantage of women. Throughout the pages of Girl, Naw I learned much about the power of love, forgiveness and the importance of learning to love one's self.

The manner in which Ms. A'ngelle delivers this dynamic story is grabbing and realistic. It addresses everyday issues that occur in people's lives. Sometimes we are so busy trying to help others that we forget that we have some cleaning up to do in our own lives. The consequences we pay for our sins can be tremendous and life changing.

Like a seasoned literary veteran, Lacricia A'ngelle expertly brings her characters to life, and therefore has done well in the delivery of Girl, Naw. It is such an easy and enjoyable read. I could not put it down until I finished it. Ms. A'ngelle has gained a reader for life! Ms. A'ngelle is definitely anointed, blessed and favored by God, and I look forward to more uplifting, inspiring novels from this author.
