The novel’s conscientious and enthusiastic narrator….animates the text…The machinations of Lori’s new family would rival a soap opera…Lori has a well defined voice and she describes her alien environment in a compelling blend of lyrical observations….An inspirational novel that…stays the course.

Forever Was A Day was indeed a page-turner. Once I started reading, I could not let the story go until I had finished the very last word. Although I did not warm up to Robert until much later in the book, being bi-racial and having lived through many challenges of a mixed raced family, I certainly could identify with the struggles Lori, Clara Suzette, and Robert faced. I was also inspired by Michael, a young, highly intelligent, educated Black man who had such respect for himself and his relationship with Lori. When I read about his community organizing work for the homeless, it reminded me of President-Elect Barack Obama.

Forever Was A Day is full of history, complex relationships, and a little mystery (Carl?). I strongly recommend it to everyone as a "must read."
