Author Description

Anne Marie is the life story of a once very innocent black child, who with great determination struggles to become a successful business woman, college graduate, lover, family member, friend, and Christ-like person. The story begins in a small town just after World War II and is viewed through the eyes of Aunt Boo (Billie Forman); a loving friend of Anne Marie and one of the main characters in the book. The tale also charts the life of two same-gender-loving-males, a wise and witty black woman, a pride filled community, and new insights. Anne Marie also cites individuals who are sexually abused, religious hypocrisy, souls motivated to succeed, victims of jealous behavior, sufferers of betrayal, victims of lost love, and other familiar and not so familiar human feelings.
