5.0 out of 5 stars A memorable and highly recommended read, August 8, 2009

This review is from: Putting It Back Together (Urban Soul) (Paperback)

Hurricane Katrina affected the lives of everyone who lived through it. Dr. Alexis White is a pediatrician living in post-Kartrina New Orleans. She's a professional woman who returned to her beloved city to accomplish whatever she could in its reconstruction and recovery. Things become complicated for her when she is caught up in an emotional love triangle between streetwise attorney Jamar Duplessis, her current boyfriend, and Reggie Morgan, her one great love of the past who has returned. Deftly written by Rhonda M. Lawson, "Putting It Back Together" is a memorable and highly recommended read focused on the lives of three successful yet incomplete people played out against the backdrop of a city determined to emerge from the ruination of Hurricane Katrina into an even better version of itself for the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love will be waiting at home, June 9, 2009

This review is from: Putting It Back Together (Urban Soul) (Paperback)

Dr. Alexis White seemed to have it together. She is back home in Katrina ravaged New Orleans and building her own pediatrics practice to help the young victims the storm left in its wake. However, getting over the hurt she felt when her fiancé decided not to return to New Orleans after Katrina was proving to be harder than the young doctor thought.

Reggie Morgan was living every young boys dream. As a professional football player for the New Orleans Saints, with a beautiful wife and a young son, Reggie appears to have all a man could ask for. All that is except for a wife who is supportive and faithful.

Alexis and Reggie's world collide after many years of separation. No longer college students learning about life, Alexis and Reggie are forced to face their past demons and move forward as they get reacquainted. The process of sorting out broken hearts, broken promises and shattered dreams proves to be a painful journey full of surprises.

Written with post Katrina New Orleans as a back drop, Ms Lawson pulls the reader into the culture, traditions and pride of the citizens of New Orleans. The descriptive passages of the city and the emotions left by the tragedy that fell upon "the Big Easy" places you in the streets of New Orleans. This thought provoking page turner is sure to have you on the edge of your seat as you delve into the lives of Alexis and Reggie.
