The debut of a fresh and provocative new writer of women's fiction - who also
runs an influential website that promotes books by and about African-Americans.
My Daughter's Boyfriend offers up an impossibly tricky love triangle. Tracey
was only 17 when she had her daughter, Lauren, and proudly raised her alone.
Now that Lauren is 17 herself, Tracey is pleased to see her lessons have been
learned: Lauren has decided to wait before having sex with Aaron, an older man
and her first real boyfriend.
But this decision has consequences neither woman could imagine, when in a few
chance encounters, sparks fly between Aaron and Tracey. Coming off yet another
disappointing relationship, Tracey finds that Aaron has understanding and
maturity beyond his years, while Aaron is drawn to Tracey's womanliness.
Eventually, what begins as a harmless flirtation turns into a hot - but secret
- love affair. And that's when things really get complicated. Told in the
alternating voices of the three lovers, My Daughter's Boyfriend is filled with
sharp, lively observations on mothers and daughters, African-American men and
women, and the role of friends in women's lives. Audacious and gripping, it is
a perfect summer read.
