Summary: The best ever
Comment: I have read the Friends another book from Rosa Guy which is mainly about Ruby's sister Phyillisa and her poor friend Edith Jackson .In that book Ruby was crazy about a boy named Orlando.This is one of the squels to The Friends before you even start Ruby YOU HAVE TO READ The Friends to find out what Ruby was really about.Now Ruby faces different choices and becomes gay because no one at home cared for her the way the her mother did before she past away Ruby turned to a girl named Daphne Duprey which is harshed to Ruby because Ruby repects her Father Clavin an old Fasion west indian man.Ruby runs after Daphne all the time and listens to everything Daphne has to say.Calvin hires someone called Miss.Effie to buy thier food and then perpare it for them.Miss.Effie likes Calvin so much but she just gets on Calvin's nerves it's a book you will never want to put down i am not going to give you anymore of the scoop on this book you are just going to go have to go it pick iit up yourself it's a book anyone can enjoy take it from me...

Summary: If only.
Comment: This book could have been so much better. If only the author didn't rush the ending that way. The relationship in this book between Ruby and Daphne was fasinating and engaging. This book could have been as beautiful and intriguing as Dive by Stacey Donavan. But instead the author took the easy way out. If you want to know how, read the book. But prepare to be disapointed and let down.

Summary: A bittersweet love story -- and more
Comment: The personal is political, and vice versa. In clear and understandable language, Rosa Guy explores questions of race, class, gender, sexuality and what it means to be an activist. Most impressive of all, she does so with what to me seems an amazing amount of subtlety. The characters remain real people, despite the message the book is trying to send.
