I began spiraling downward after that terrible night in the bar. My brother, Morris, came in, saw me and came over to where I was sitting. He was tipsy as he started to berate me. He pointed his finger in my face as he shouted, "You killed our momma, bitch!" So began one of the compelling stories in Zenobia Orimoloye's book. Orimoloye writes depicting African American life, some stories are true, and others are fiction. Orimoloye's vivid characters plows through sexual abuse, death, human trafficking, ageism, love lost and found and addiction.Orimoloye is an excellent storyteller, funny at times, sad at others and well worth reading about ordinary people striving to achieve personal happiness. Orimoloye takes us through a maze of images of the human spirit that never gives up, never stays down and always gets back up for the next round!
