"There is an abundant humor to this book and pathos; there is melodrama and the quiet charm of introspective analysis, and above all there is entertainment."--Saturday Review

A novel of love and war, from the author of Home to Harlem

Bita Plant is adopted and sent to England from Jamaica by white missionary benefactors and returns to her home village of Banana Bottom seven years later a beautiful, cultured young lady. Despite the evangelical guidance of her foster parents and friendship with a white squire, Bita is increasingly drawn to the vitality of her more natural culture with its festivals, superstitions, revival meetings, and passionate courtships. Among her many suitors she chooses to marry the quiet, humble man who allows her to be most true to herself.

Private Dancer: ... Nothing is Rarely What it Seems
How does an Elder and a Women's Ministry leader go from parenting a praise worshipper and a high school basketball star to a pole dancer and a wanna-be thug? Elder Walter Johnson and his God-fearing wife Angela are known throughout the church and community for having the perfect family, a portrait example. However, things are often never what they seem. What happens when perfection is challenged by the past? Kindness, their beautiful daughter, who was recently promoted to leader of Daughter's of David dance ministry, faces the toughest decisions of her life. No longer being able to hide behind the pampered princess she once was, life has her in a death gaze. But it's not just her life that is being threatened. One night of blood, sweat, and tears changes everything, setting them all on different paths. Though her parents do not understand the sudden decisions Kindness has to make, to her there is only one choice. Save Walter Jr!
