My book, A Journey Into The Mind of a Black Woman has been out for about six months, and I've been told by about 5 people that bought the book, that someone has stolen their book after purchasing it. Most by family members....

Should I be flattered?

The reports keep coming in about how much the book is inspiring people, but I'd like some of you to give your book reviews on Amazon.com.

It appears that there is someone trying to sabotage the book (white racists) who may have seen the book advertised in various sites that I frequent, as well as on my blog. For those of you who have read the book in its entirety; please give a customer review on Amazon.com. I know that God inspired me to write this book. It is a message for the Black man that is meant to heal and empower. Don't allow hate to destroy that. I appreciate all of your support.

It is a book that was inspired by true events relating to how a Black woman feels about what she loves the most in this world: Black men. Society tells our people every single day that we are not valued, loved or respected. We did not destroy this economy, but a young Black man (Trayvon Martin) lost his life because of these preconceived notions about us. Our men are a precious resource and it is important that they know how much they are valued. Some people want to write books for money and get rich. I wanted to write a good book and make ordinary folks feel rich because of what they read. This is my gift to all the Black men that have inspired me throughout my life.

It is available on Amazon (including Kindle) and other online and select bookstores.

For those of you who have purchased the book or will be purchasing it: first, join the discussion group I created for the book on fb "Journeytalk" https://www.facebook.com/groups/323908484308123/ then please do a customer review on Amazon.com


Thank you,


Truthangel

I'm a little confused?
There was only one review on Amazon

I am so glad this book was not bought by me. Instead a friend found it in Strand bookstore, read it and I happened to pick it up at her house.

It was an AWFUL read. This woman is filled with hate and you can just TELL she does not like herself very much.

I'm shocked this even made it to being published.

Don't be confused.

No one is buying the book, so she's trying to drum up a little press

I get a report of my sales. The book is selling.

Immediately, I was suspicious of that review.

You have to first be a purchaser of the book, then select the button on the page that says "write a review".

Mmm I guess I didn't write the question out properly but you already answered it. You believe it is a white racist who wrote that review?

You shouldn't be confused about the book if you're African American.

The book is about how this society treats Black men and how as a Black woman, I have observed how this has impacted my community(black women, children and our neighborhoods.) Image is a powerful thing. So is perception.

Black men are a valuable resource and this book is to remind them of that.
