Summary:
"This book shows the integral role of the "conscious African family" in developing commercial success stories such as those of Morrison's protagonist, Bride. Bride's accomplishments are an extension of a superficial "cult of celebrity" until a significant journey helps her redefine success by building a community and family"-- Provided by publisher.
