Product Description
While navigating a tricky love triangle, reporter Lacy Foxx also struggles (often comically and unsuccessfully) with life, work, family, friendship, and community volunteerism. At the same time, her spunky, 70-year-old grandmother is learning a thing or two about life and love. Along their journeys, they are both painfully reminded that all that glitters ain’t gold, and while there are several roads to happiness — some come with a horrible price. In this mature coming-of-age tale, will Lacy and her grandmother get off the dead end roads they are on and learn to embrace love, their indestructible spirits and their bulletproof souls . . . before it's too late?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mature Coming of Age Novel ..Must Read , May 14, 2005
By Bullwinkle (Baltimore MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bulletproof Soul (Paperback)
Michelle Buckley has entered the literary world with well written novel. We are introduced to Lacy , an upcoming reporter and her trials and tribulations of being a woman and also a professional at the same time. Lacy is trying to be her own version of " I'm every Woman " by any means necessary.

I enjoyed Bulletproof Soul and encourage readers particularly book clubs to give this book a try. It will make for excellent book club discussion .

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must READ!!!, October 2, 2005
This review is from: Bulletproof Soul (Paperback)
Being a man, I simply enjoyed reading (((Michelle Buckley))) titled book, Bulletproof Soul. The story wasn't just another novel filled with drama but lessons of survival as demonstrated in Lacy's character, a strong, black, single, professional, woman making her way in the world in spite of her personal loss from the death of close family members to ended relationships with the men she loved. This book is a fast pace read that opens a door for the older generation to mingle with the young, as in Lacy relationship with her grandmother. Throughout the story you will find yourself laughing and questioning things you could see in yourself or someone you know. A well written book with a story that inspires!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Soul Survivor (4.5 stars), January 2, 2006
This review is from: Bulletproof Soul (Paperback)
Lacy Foxx is a sexy independent sistah struggling in the relationship department. After breaking off an engagement to Sebastian Lacy falls head over heels for Wynn Trust. But is Lacy more to blame for her failed relationship with Sebastian (or Se-bastard as she calls him) than she initially realized?

But that realization that she was also to blame comes a little too late and leaves Lacy torn between her past with Sebastian or a future with Wynn. Author Michelle Buckley delivers an excellent novel showing that in order to maintain a healthy relationship with anyone you must first work on your soul.
