The main character is Vera Wright-Turner who starts the story
with how she was retrieved from Social Services by Aunt Cookie right after her
grandmother died. Her mother left her in
a trash bag at a dumpster when she was as a baby. Her grandmother retrieved her and raised her
until she died when Vera was eight.
Vera grows up thinking there is no such thing as love and
she will get whatever she can from a man and keep it moving.
Vera does go to school and she owns her own hair salon, but
everything she got was paid for by a man.
She has 2 boyfriends – Roger who is married and Taj who is single. Taj
adores her and wants to be with her, but without Roger in the picture.
I saw
this on the library shelf and it looked like a quick read as a small paperback. I am the type of person that likes to read all
genres even if it’s to keep myself up-to-date with different authors and
perspectives. This is categorized as an urban black book, so I thought I’d see
what it was like. “True to the Game” is
the best urban book so far.
