This was the first book I read by Omar, and I found it to be exciting, inspirational, and very surreal. This book is so very personal and the story line is so concrete. It's a process in which an African American woman rises far an above in order to succeed as a woman, mother, student, mentor, lover, and a friend while raising two sons, and dealing with two different men with their own issues as well as not fully involving themselves in their son's lives.

It took me awhile to get into this book, I actually put it down and completed another book before finally finishing it. The main character Denise was too judgmental for my taste but overall the book was good. I will admit this was not one of my favorites by Omar Tyree.

This was a really good book, I do remember it and would read it again. It was definitely different from what I read in the past.

The way the story was told was quite refreshing. I would recommend this book to anyone that might find themselves in a single-parent situation; be it the child, or one of the respective parents. It was an eye-opening piece because it tells the story of many single mothers who might have shielded their children from the strains of rais
