| Publisher Description: Emily's Blues is an excellent portrayal of a young girl as she searched relentlessly for identity and a better life in an oppressive society. Her struggle to find dignity and self-worth should inspire girls around the globe to fight for the freedom and the respect they deserve. All females will find something relative to their lives in this emotional saga as Emily journeys from North Carolina, to New York, New Jersey, Washington, DC, and finally she makes an East to West odyssey finally in California where she does overcome, but not without experiencing violence, threats and fear. The story should serve as a wake-up call to males who are abusive to females or refuse to acknowledge their worth and importance. It should encourage fathers to become more involved in preparing their daughters for the pitfalls they might encounter in their relationships with males. |
