]]> Comment on Inheritance by Allen H. Fleming II http://lorenecary.org/2011/08/inheritance/#comment-436 Allen H. Fleming II Mon, 15 Aug 2011 23:29:32 +0000 http://lorenecary.org/?p=541#comment-436 I am writing to express my appreciation for your novel If Sons, Then Heirs. If I were still teaching college composition, I would have required my students to read it. I am from South Carolina, and I remember my grandmother talking to me about how many African-Americans had so much trouble keeping their land. In fact, a great deal of the land on Hilton Head Island was once owned by African-Americans. Unfortunately, many of them could not pay the taxes and had to sell. I am so glad someone tackled this issue along with others such as race relations and abandonment. Also, I was very impressed with your characters, especially Rayne and Nana Selma. It was refreshing to see a strong, yet sensitive black man caring for his family. He was indeed sensitive to Lillie, Khalil, Nana Selma, and even to Jewell. I really fell in love with Nana Selma because she reminded me so much of my grandmother. I found Nana to be candid, loving, stubborn, and comical. I am Episcopalian, and the scenes in the church with Maundy Thursday service were realistic. The murder of King was very moving, and a reminder of what happened to many of our ancestors during that time. The flashback scenes were effective. Again, thank you for this uplifting story, and I hope it becomes a film one day. I am writing to express my appreciation for your novel If Sons, Then Heirs.

Banks, L. A. Banks, and Alexis Grant.  She wrote romance, TV-tie-in novels, crime/suspense, crossovers, comics, a graphic novel, nonfiction essays, and short stories.  She was one of the most professional writers I’ve ever had the privilege to meet, full-bursting-running over with energy, ideas, new plots, new characters, and entire systems of thought to govern the worlds she created.  She studied film and wrote with cinematic scope and specificity.   Leslie did not ignore the world in order to make this abundant output.  Rather, she came out to meet us with open arms and the biggest of hearts.  She mentored and bonded and adopted people and showed up at schools and recreation centers and churches.  She helped us all.  Read Full Story.

Looks as if it would have come from an article. <em>Newsweek</em>, maybe? Or maybe <em>Black Ice</em>. Just took our younger daughter on college tours, and recalled the relief of being able to study, debate, lead at boarding school. It was like "coming out" as a smart black girl. Unfortunately, as a woman, I'm afraid I've lost track of lotsa prose. Sorry not to be of more help. Aw, man, I cannot find this exact quote. Looks as if it would have come from an article.
