Y'all, I've been warbling my fool head off about this one for going on five years. I five-starred it...said this just might be The Great American Novel...I can't afford to buy everyone a Kindle copy, even at $2.99 (which it is today), but I would if I could. Go get you one.

Rich or poor, immigrant or American, man or woman, honor or dishonor, family or work....so many issues packed in one book. We have Jende and Neni, immigrants from Cameroon, who live in Harlem and Clark and and Cindy the wealthy Americans. It is 2008 and Clark works at Lehman Brothers. Each of these people have their good and bad sides. Just when you think one might be a hero, the book reveals another side. Just when you think one might be a villain, one see the sunlight shining through.
