Some Spoilers ... BewareWhat a moving and fitting debut from author, Tihanna Peach.Cherish and Dijon are a young couple who've both had a rough time while growing up in wayward households.  Yet, the two fall in love despite the fact that they're each dealing with enough drama for ten adults.Once Cherish's stepfather, Melvin, suddenly dies, her mother, Juanita is left distraught and broken.  Desperate to find love again, Juanita seeks solace in a shifty-eyed crack fiend, named, Cordele.  There are two places that children should feel safe ... at home and in school.  Unfortunately, that's not the case for Cherish nor her siblings.Dijon is the one person Cherish is willing to open up to.  A local street dude with issues of his own, Dijon quickly becomes Cherish's salvation."Cherish" is a definite must read for young adults.Favorite Character: Melvin (ideal father figure)Least Favorite Character: Cordele (most likely a lowlife predator before his drug use)What's the most attractive aspect about the book: A positive learning tool for teenagersWhat's the least attractive aspect about the book: Juanita's transformation from responsible adult to negligent crack fiend.Final Rating: 4 stars (not bad for a .99 cents read)
