“LaShondra Smith is a successful school vice-principal who yearns for Mr. Right. Naturally, this special man has to be not only honorable, compassionate and rich but also Christian and black, like Boaz in the Bible. On career day, LaShondra meets Stelson Brown, the handsome white partner of the Brown-Cooper Engineering firm, and is immediately attracted to him. This is something all of us have or will face one day the question is how will we handle this situation when or if it arises? It was a little slow at first but is worth reading.”

This a wonderfully, inspiring debut novel. WOW, what a refreshing read! I loved how this author attacked racism in such a tactful way. When I finished this book I had to take a deep look at myself, and the many prejudices that I have in my life on various levels. I found it difficult to read this novel, because I found so much of myself throughout these pages and no one enjoys having all their flaws smack them in the face like that.~~~~~~~This book is great and I loved the main characters. LaShondra was not perfect, but she was very real. She faced her own prejudices and problems and instead of letting them get her down, she prayed about them, and slowly moved forward and overcame them one by one. She finally realized her Boaz was standing right in front of her, and I am glad she realized that before she let that wonderful man go. Stelson truly was an amazing man of God, one that every man can take a lesson from because his actions in all aspects of his relationship with LaShondra were based on true Christian love and respect. He truly knew how to treat a woman. His eyes did not see her as a black woman, but as a beautiful creation of the Lord sent to be a part of his life. This book touched my heart! I realize that history tells many painful stories of the past and we can determine how it continues, whether we remain ignorant, and just complain about the way things are or do we progressively move forward in an effort to change things and make them better. This book was a true lesson in the old adge that love knows no color! Way to Go, Mrs. Stimpson. ”0 of 1 members found this review helpful“HATED IT!”

“This is a book which stayed with me long after I read it!! Loved all the characters, and yeah it did have some similarities to the Sanaa Lathan movie Something New.”
