MY SISTER'S VEIL

My Sister’s Veil, takes you on a journey of piercing, no excuses, gut-wrenching survival, in the lives of three young African American women.  Which character’s struggle will you identify with; self-hatred, self-destruction, or self-medication?  Find out which and how they navigate through each.  Below is the prologue to “My Sister’s Veil.”  It is written in the voices of the three main characters.  Who are you?

My Sister's Veil:

(THE POEM)

Toni’s Veil:

A beautiful face is never enough to guarantee love, success, and trust. Torn and conflicted by what they see and say Maybe they’re right.  It’s better their way. They always win, so of course we would choose, to perpetrate a look that will never lose. I’ll just take it to the twelfth degree so it appears self-righteously to be me. So bury the mirror and who you really see and bury the hatred of who you really be. Then it’s easy to forget the grief and promise yourself you can become a respectable Thief.

​Terri’s Veil:

Restless and young with nothing to lose Thrown into your world unblemished unbruised. Ready to grow and to trust and to learn, but guns fill your hands before you discern the value of life, community and respect. A simple way to mask your intellect. Apprentice of self-destruction a King with no crown frustrated and confused by the systematic run-around Yet a gnarly lesson awaits to prove it’s by your own hand you win or you lose.

Tina’s Veil:

Abandoned and Afraid Ashamed and unloved I hid my pain as innocent as a dove. But the Lord answers prayers so invisible I’ll be. ‘Cause my black and nappy, embarrasses thee. If only but, for  a genuine veil I’d lose myself in self-medicated Hell. But no need to worry, no need to fret. ​Their yaki hair and blue contacts are easy to get So spare not a dime for value and worth. Designer labels and gold to our pride gives birth. So strut on high and lively and proud as you die slowly with a legacy broken and LOUD!

BARBARA (Ft.Worth, Texas)

“I really enjoyed the book-My Sister’s Veil! Well written. Conclusions were interesting and done nicely.”

“My Sister’s Veil- I found it intriguing, exciting, and a page-turner. The characters were well developed and the story line compelling. It is a true testament to the commitment to excellence. The in-depth characterizations and circumstances of many, revealed to me just how our culture shapes many disadvantaged in our society. In this instance, the characters refuse to allow adversity to determine their fate…the human spirit prevails.”

MITCH (Mt. Vernon, NY)

I enjoyed reading My Sister’s Veil very much.  The characters come to life and you get to know them.  They became part of my life and taught me many lessons, especially about the power of love.  The plot twists and turns kept my eyes stretched open.  It is a page-turner.  I highly recommend this book.
