"Zena (short for Zenobia) Lawson honors all things African - art, culture, history. So when fortune hands her a twenty-year-old West African girl in need of temporary housing, of course Zena and her husband Lucius jump at the chance to help. To Zena, Ifa Olongo is an exotic beauty with enough haughtiness and grace for three royal families. Not to mention the daughter she never had.
But as Zena's best friend Vy keeps reminding her, Ifa is no girl - she's a young woman with dangerous curves that any man would just love to skid his tires across." "But Zena, a former glamour queen herself, has problems distinguishing between glitter and real gold. For Ifa's name means life - and she'll acquire it...by any means necessary.".
"The ever-widening gap between Africans and African-Americans - and the strong but precarious link that bridges it...The unexpected peril of romanticizing our roots - and the foreigners who represent them...The importance of taking care of others - without sacrificing oneself...Kristin Lattany takes political correctness and Afrocentricity and turns them upside down."--BOOK JACKET.
