Cute! Congrats!
Yummy! Congratulations! It's already a great book (I'm 25 pages in to it)!!
Congratulations on your book release. I work in a health department in NC and hoping to get some girls here to read it as a book club. I haven't read the book but I'm hearing good things. Many Blessings.
Well, here's the thing. I preordered this book and just received it the day before. Im already done reading it just because, it was that detailed, graphic, and informative. Did I fail to mention I cried several times. I felt so much of a connection to you Marvelyn. One becuase you are young, and you are Black. Two, because you were one of the better ones who actually made it through high school while participating in school activities. And you wanted love like I do now, and so many of my friends. You did something that most girls do, dating a person who you are in love with thinking he would have your best interest at heart. Who would think that someone would practice safe sex some of the times and then inform you that he doesnt have a condom. Man, Ive expeienced that s#$t myself...I dont have HIV that I know of. But Ive been scared all of my life because of the one nite stands that I was not aware was one nite stands at the time. Or, finding out later this guy was a F*g and never told me until I saw him drag. Why is it so hard to find love. And the few that is willing to love has a secret.Your book was amazing and everytime I read it I would flip back to look at your picture because I imagined myself right there with you and giving you a hug. I felt your pain when you was so confused and felt you were a burden and wanted to get away from it all. Your car was refuge. I watched you on Americas Next Top Model, and Ive seen you on other shows too. I had always googled you and wished I could know more about you. Can you write another book? Can you bless the world with an extensive legacy? Marvelyn, you're my hero. I love you. I want to email you. But I wonder if you would even respond to me. You seem so accessbile as a celebrity its unreal...But your book saids that it is. I believe you and everything that you have written and said in your words. The book was easier for me to place my self in the moment, to visualize, and see for myself. Like an outta body experience while going through my own emotions in secret. I have 2 sisters. They would die for love. One just had 2 shots in her butt and 4 huge pills to take right then and there. She is 16 and the guy was 27. Im 27, what would I want with a 16 yr old....ya heard me? Anyway, she scares me because unlike you had been infected in a monogamous relationship. She, being a Taurus is not really happy in her life. She used to have dreams of being a model, actress, and singer. The last year shes lost all her hope. Now her aspirations is to please men; be it exotic dancing, stilettos, sex, etc...Im her sister. I love her, I talk to her, but how can I save her? This book....Shes in Detroit and I am 1600 miles away in the South. I have brought her a copy that should arrive any day now.Shes very smart in the 11th grade. I know that she will read it.
Im sad for you, why did you have to bare the sins of the new generation on your shoulders like Jesus? Why were you the one to suffer as the poster child for being a Black woman with Aids to teach the world a lesson and that it real? You were too young...You were too beautiful...You were too loved...
