are some of your thoughts...
"Your book was fantastic.
Baby Girl
was right up my alley and I
couldn't put it down. I LOVE this book! The point of view and the different
letters confused some of the people I know who have read it but it made perfect
sense to me and was genius. This is definitely one of my favorite books. Thanks
for being our voice!"
Bree from Charlotte
"This was a great book and needs another one. I want to know more about the
girl and her friend and the rest of the story. I definitely enjoyed reading
this."
Erika
"I recently read your book. I enjoyed it very much, it's one of my favorite
books. I really like how you described everything through a letter to her mom.
Anyway I was wondering if you would be writing any other books soon, like
Baby Girl."
Monica from Toronto
"I read this book in a day. I hope Lenora Adams makes another book cause I'm
like addicted. At first I didn't really get the meaning of the book but when I
got through the first pages I got that she was writing about flashbacks."
A reviewer, A reviewer
"I loved this book. I didn't want ot put it down once I started reading.
Sheree is so much like some of my friends--we hang out and check out the guys.
Gotta know when to pull it back thou."

"This book is da bomb! This got me interested in reading more Lenora Adams
book. I like how the setting is as a letter to her mother and I like how you had
us really wanting to know more about what is happening in the story. I can't
wait to read more Lenora Adams books."
Karis
"The author worked {volunteered} in a homeless shelter for women, and in this
powerful novel, the voices and situations ring with authenticity, and the ending
is grim but honest."
Frances Radburn, Booklist
"Racial and class issues are explored in this story of a black girl and her
white best friend who lives on the nicer side of the tracks. The language and
explicit references to sex make this book appropriate for older readers, but the
issues are presented realistically, opening doors to discussions of self-esteem,
the way we use our bodies, and race and class, as well as teen pregnancy."
