Hannah D. Spivey, author of Ebony the Beloved
(Aziza Publishing)
My book is about a 15-year-old girl named, Ebony Starks. She lives in a dysfunctional household with two parents who worship opposing deities, and she later discovers they never loved her.
Ebony has a hard time finding love until she meets an older woman named, Norma Lue, who takes Ebony under her wings and shows her the love she’s never received from her “parents.” Things begin to get better for Ebony until she cross paths with a world renown entertainer named, Desmond Waltz who has a hidden, dark sadistic side that later rears its ugly head.
To add more salt to the festering wound, Ebony meets Desmond’s controlling and manipulative mother, who is destined to turn her world upside down as much as Desmond’s. Ebony has been through blaze and back until she finally says “Enough is a damn enough.”
