Multicultural African-American | Women's Fiction Contemporary

Child psychologist Chocolate Campbell learned self-hate early in life. At six-years-old she knew that her sea green eyes and silky golden hair, set her apart from her sisters-her beautiful black sisters in the eyes of the only father she knew. The product of an adulterous affair, as an adult Chocolate finds herself in turmoil of whether to forgive the man who rejected her and her biracial features while accepting his legitimate daughters. While reminiscing on a past of longing for the same love from her father that her sisters received, Chocolate is also reminded of how his rejection, anger, and drunkenness resulted in the death of two of her siblings. Undercover detective Danni Campbell doesn't want to know love. She has seen too much hate to consider giving herself-her heart over to a man the way she witnessed her father give his to her mother only to end up with more pain and regret than anyone she knew. She dates men that are already taken and lets no one close enough to her heart to break it. When she meets Sikander, who is a far cry from conventional ideas of "handsome," her footing becomes shaky and she finds herself seeking her true identity in him. She battles with sticking to her vow to never love or letting go and falling head first into the unknown. From a prison cell in East Texas, James Ray Campbell serves time for the murder of his daughters. Dying from cancer and seeking absolution from Chocolate, he attempts to reappear in her life through letters and messages from Danni. As the sisters face their pasts, embrace the present, and look forward to their futures; a sibling bond is built, held onto and threatened in a major way. In order to heal completely, Chocolate has to reevaluate the past and determine whether it is too late for her to forgive her father and give him a chance to make good on promises he never made, let alone, tried to keep.
