| Publisher Description: What would you do if you discovered your net-worth was a $100 million? An estate passed down through generations from the slave trade. An estate your greedy-ass father kept from you although he has his own self-made millions, or does he? 16-year-old LaTonya Ellis may not know her financial worth, but her father's new "wifey" knows all. Once the live-in babysitter, the new wifey's past comes full circle causing LaTonya to lose what little control she has left. In book 1 of a three-part series, go with LaTonya on her intimate journey as she battles the pressures of drugs, alcohol and sex in search of her mother buried in family secrets. This suspense drama keeps you guessing all the way through until you find out why LaTonya is a favorite among early readers. |
Contributor Bio(s): Shakhete, Amani: - "Inspired by her own life, Atlanta Author Amanishakhete (Uh-ma-nee-sha-keet), named after the ancient Nubian Queen Amanishakheto, conjures up an imagination full of colorful characters that make up the LaTonya trilogy. Readers never know what's coming next when they turn the pages of her amazing new series filled with characters from all walks of life - characters she feels she channels. "They speak to me," says Amanishakhete. "I definitely hear their voices and let them say and do as they please." No wonder this fresh new fiction writer captures the attention of readers from 16 to 60. Along with fiction writing and authorship, Amanishakhete is a Word-Soul artist who writes and performs her own lyrics underscored by original music composed by Portland hip hop artist and producer Anuff. Amanishakhete plays herself in the series. Fans can purchase her music at CD Baby and iTunes. Born in Osaka, Japan to an Air Force family, but raised in the states, Amanishakhete holds an Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees in Business and Communications supported by Business and International Relations graduate studies in London, England and a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing." |
