He Took My Body, But He Didn't Take My Mind!

Kelley, Latwaina

Southern Women Publishing

Based on a true life story: As if growing up in the hood wasn’t hard enough, as a biracial half White, half Black girl, LaMonica Powers has to also navigate finding her identity (whatever that means). She’s not accepted in the suburban White schools her mama carts her off to and she’s not fully accepted by the Black community either.\nAdd in a heaping of undiagnosed ADHD, a cup of discipline dealt out “southern style,” throw in some seeds of God given talent and intellect - and you’ve got yourself a recipe for a pretty, hot, ghetto surprise. It would be a miracle if she didn’t fall prey to the statistical forces pulling at her from all sides.\nThis coming of age tale is a cross between “A Hero Ain’t Nothin' But A Sandwich” and “A Child Called It.”\nIf you love banned books then you’ll love this!\nTrigger warnings: Racial overtones acted out through politically incorrect speech, alcohol abuse, emotional abuse, child abuse, rape, and very mild profanity.\nPraise For Poor Little Mixed Girl\nVERY GOOD READ! ANTICIPATION WITH EVERY PAGE, FELT AS IF I WERE THERE...CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK WHEN IT'S RELEASED.

~SUELYNN VARGAS\nExcerpt from Poor Little Mixed Girl – Chapter 5. The Babysitter 
“Hey young man, is your name Randall?” 
“Yes ma’am.” 
“Well, I’m Ms. Demona. I’m helping Mrs. Powers out with LaMonica.” 
“Oh yes. I’m friends with LaMonica.” 
“Yes. That’s what I’m here to talk to you about. LaMonica doesn’t need any friends at this time. Especially not any friends that are boys. I’m working with Mrs. Powers to help get LaMonica under control. She comes from a rough background.“ 
“A rough background?” Randall asked. 
“Yes. She actually was one of those drug babies.”\nTHE MIXED GIRL SERIES READING ORDER:
