From the Author

Out of all the works I have written, I am most attached to this story. I am really attached to each and every character in this book, especially the main character because I think she was searching for a perfect place just as most of us are. I hope everyone enjoyed reading this book just as much as I enjoyed writing it.

This book is awesome from the very first page. You know how to grab someone's attention and hold on to it. I really enjoyed this book. I started reading and could not put it down. Mia really endured some things and had a good and forgiving heart. Despite the hurts that her Mom and sister put her through, she with stood more than most of us would. Just when she finally found utopia, she was taken away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short book, but a captivating story, May 21, 2006

This review is from: Searching for Utopia (Paperback)

I ordered this book directly from the author's website and was pleased at how quickly I received it. It's a very short book, but it is a very engrossing story. You can tell that the author is a beginner because I'm not sure if it was edited, but I think it was very creative and a very sweet story. I found myself really getting attached to the main character. I read the entire book in one sitting. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a nice story to read. It does contain adult themes and language so be advised. Great story all around.

This review is from: Searching for Utopia (Paperback)

This book was truly marvelous. It is certainly an attention grabber and it keeps your attention the entire way through. I,too, read the entire novella in one sitting. This is a great story and ranks very high in my opinion. It is a must have!This new author will be another great author just like Terry McMillan, Mary Monroe, LaJill Hunt, and Zane. I am already anxiously awaiting her next book. She is certainly an extremely talented young writer and from viewing her website, I can already see her accomplishing some Tyler Perry type endeavors. If you haven't already purchased your copy, don't miss out and if you already have purchased your copy, buy one for a friend and don't allow them to miss out.
