The Resource McKinney-Whetstone, Diane

Description: Diane McKinney-Whetstone builds a world of interesting characters caught in the tumult of 1940's-90's Philadelphia as they deal with racial, social, and sexual issues. Her heartwarming - often heart wrenching - novels focus on independent African-American women and the few good men strong enough to be their real partners. Often damaged by outside circumstances (drugs, abuse, adultery), characters work to regain healing balance in their lives. Love, self-discovery, and family ties define success. Her lyrical, evocative writing uses musical refrain (gospel, blues) and dashes of magical experience (such as second sight) to craft engaging, optimistic reads. Start with: Tumbling
