This cultural heritage 128 page novella by censored Social Activist and Bestselling Author of Mulatto: Daughter of America" Florencia LaChance is actually her first book written at age 23 between 1992 and 1993. Highly influenced by the writings of Jack Kerouac, the Beat poets and the literature of William Burroughs and Terry McMillan, influenced by the early movies of Spike Lee, the Author after discovering the old manuscript at age 51, decided to preserve the integrity of her writing and publish it with minimal edits. This Generation X coming-of-age short-story / semi-biographical book explores the friendship, love, life decisions & philosophies of four best friends who embark on an unforgettable adventurous weekend on Martha's Vineyard in the early 90's following college graduation. Follow the main character, biracial student and single mom, Karo, as she navigates the complexities of dating, prejudice, and intimacy, trying to manage the emotions and feelings in her life while working as a single mother. Karo lives dangerously and to the fullest. A beautiful island getaway! Sports, sun and Fun! Nude beaches and upscale hip-hop culture. What can go wrong? Biracial relationships, the hurdles of single parenthood, substance abuse, a teen child raising a child, and the idea of "extended family" is a major element. If you seek a great example of how screwed up we were in the 90's, read this. Step into my world. The 90's, Ivy League schools, the civil and human rights fought so hard for by previous generations manifesting in accomplishment and achievement. An age where anything felt possible. When freedom of speech and diverse ideologies were embraced, not shunned. An age BEFORE social media and cell phones. A lost age where people actually connected and lived a life of FREEDOM. Something we all need to be prepared to fight for in this new climate of the New World Order. Check out my new release Collection of Poetry, Prose, Spoken Word and Song Lyrics entitled "You Know How It Feels" a joint collaboration with my talented rapper and songwriter son, Joshua LaChance. It will blow you away. The creative writings of Generation X meets Millennial. A must have for music, songs, poetry lovers and aspiring songwriters. Note from Author: I TRIED to pull this book after recently becoming a born-again Follower of Jesus Christ, but discovered to my dismay it was still being sold across the Web. I decided to leave this book up as a great example of the chaos, confusion and depravity that comes in a life devoid of Jesus Christ and God. I am NOT proud of having wrote this. Please read as a cautionary tale. Find me on Rumble at ALLSHALLBEREVEALED67 and on my Telegram channel at t.me / ALLSHALLBEREVEALED67where I write a daily blog re: current events and the truth. Thanks for leaving a review here and on Good Reads!
