description: The Secret Life of a Black Trophy Wife is my response to the past two decades of negative media stereotypes that seem to define people of color. Contrary to popular belief, although many people of African-American descent did live in neighborhoods limited racially by segregation, most of us did not live in socially dysfunctional ghettos consumed by lives of crime. We live regular lives in cities, on farms and in small towns. I was a Girl Scout until I was seventeen years old, and grew up in a multicultural, professional family. All of my relatives and friends worked toward the "American Dream" as hard as any other ethnic group. This is a book about being an American first.
