(Please Tell Me If The Grass Is Greener)
Be chilled by the essence of a young woman and her struggle to grasp the perfection society is fixated on in "Even Snowflakes Have Flaws". Indulge in the appetizing sultry words of "Sweet Potatoe Pie" in which the narrator must choose between love or lust in her desire to be the faithful wife. James Sr. forces you to become an accomplice of his brutal thoughts as he fights to cope with failed dreams and lack of will in the most raved about short stiry, "You Ever Seen A Grown Man Cry" {I wake everyday to the shine of the sun and the tunes birds sing, but I can't seem to get excited about a day that I know ain't got nothing in store for me.}.
Other short sories include"Eyes Like Mine", in which Braylee tells of his determination from boyhood to avoid stagnant roads that could end him astray. In "Nothing Worse Than An Unmade Bed", Promise regrets not knowing how to love her man right. The thought of his leaving devestates her. The narrator kicks knowledge to the wanna be players in "What Goes Around". His experiences as a bachelor will floor you. In "Daddy's Little Girl", the narrator conquers the anger she had towards her father. She realizes that it is time for her to not necessarily forgive and forget, but to move on. Jossel's style of writing is undisputedly catchy. You will read this book again and again.
"Jossel is the virginty of writing...untouchable!"
