Wild Embers

I relatively enjoyed the story. However, I disliked Janelle for most of the book. She redeemed herself somewhat towards the end of the book. I did not care for her brother, Perry either. They were both annoying. Something did not make sense to me. If their father was such a big man, and he had been dead only over a year, why was their house in such bad condition and why did they live in such a dumpy neighborhood? This suggest to me that the situation was bad before he died prematurely. Also it was later found out that he had a kept woman. There is no sense to this. This is a hole in the story for me.

This was an excellent book. I truly enjoyed this novel. Once again, Ms. Bunkley takes our history and brings it to life through a novel. It was a very pleasant read that made you think. It was nice reading a positive novel about African Americans. This book keeps your interest going and you won't put it down. I found myself reading the chapters in the grocery store lines and racing home so I could finish it. I've read three of her novel and all three were great.

WILD EMBERS, A PLACE WHERE LOVE WAS MADE. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE LOVE SCENE WAS GREAT. YOU COULD ONLY VISUALIZE IN YOUR MIND WHAT WAS GOING ON AS THEY WERE IN EACH OTHERS ARMS. WHY DID THE BROTHER HAVE TO DIE. A GREAT BOOK FOR MEN TO READ, AND TAKE NOTE!!!
