A Kwanzaa Keepsake: Imani\Whisper to Me\Harvest the Fruits

Bridget Anderson,Carmen Green,and Margie Walker each wrote a fantastic story about Kwanzaa and love. Each lesson on the principles of Kwanzaa help the people to learn a new way to share, and a new way to show love. For those of us who are trying to decide if we want to start celebrating Kwanzaa these stories are a must.

There are 3 different stories and each story is better than the one before. Highly recommended. I truly could relate to so many of the situations that occurred. It's a must read. It was very informative as far as the celebration of Kwanzaa. I now have a better understanding of Kwanzaa and I learned a lot more about the 7 principles of Kwanzaa.

Bridget Anderson's "Imani" takes city girl Natalie back to her hometown for the holidays after ending a three year relationship with a controlling boyfriend. While helping at her aunt's shop she meets country boy Roderick Taylor who is weary of so-called city life after the woman he hoped to marry chose it over him. Logistics however, can not hinder the budding love between Natalie and Rod as they find themselves faced with a long distance romance. But, the spirit of sharing Kwanzaa with her country relatives helps Natalie make a decision that will affect her and Rod for a lifetime. Widower, businessman Cedric Hamilton meets teacher Iman Parrish in Carmen Green's "Whisper to Me", Iman teaches more than just the celebration of Kwanzaa to Cedric and his twin daughters. Surrounded by things accumulated with the prestige of his wealth, Cedric learns what is truly important when he shares in the true spirit of the holiday and his heart to the promise of love, happiness, and the family he has always desired.Margie Walker's "Harvest the Fruits" was my favorite. Free lance photogragher Sterling Washington literally saves journalist Selinae Rogers from uncertain harm. Selinae shares with Sterling the magic of Kwanzaa, and they both share their hearts to the magic of love. Sterling continues to offer his strength and protection as Selinae confronts the demon that has bound her family with 15 years of pain. Together Sterling and Selinae learn to apply the principles of the Kwanzaa spirit for the freedom that promises to heal a family for generations to come.
