How this author keeps cranking out these short stories amazes me.  I admire people that have such an active imagination and can take that vision and turn it into words that readers care about and get invested in.  Reading these short stories is like watching my favorite soap opera from back in the day. I find myself waiting on the next book like I would a TV episode.  I like that the language and dialogue is consistent with the personality of the character.  It's so important to the flow of the story and being able to stay present with the characters.In this latest installment, my favorite characters all get equal billing; Deep & Janice, Charles, Chenise and her kids, Winston Jr., and of course Alicia & Dennis make an appearance.  The decisions faced by Charles, Deep and Winston are all difficult choices, one that I am not sure I would be able to overcome and certainly is not the foundation for a "sustainable relationship".  There are so many different avenues the next story can take so I will put my plug in for Winston Jr.  I am totally in love with him!I am starting to think this author is part griot and part contemporary author.  She weaves a story like an updated folktale with that hidden message that is there only if the reader is able to see it.If you have not started this series....what are you waiting for?
