Her Father and Mine Reviews
Inspiring..., October 20, 2011
By Rae Winters - Her Father & Mine (Kindle Edition)
Sorboni Andrew is spoil, grows up lacking for nothing, yet she hates her father's first wife and daughter. At the age of seventeen, Sorboni decides she wants to meet her half-sister, Aaliyah. Aaliyah Lancaster had to work for everything she wanted in life. Although her father provided for her and her mother, he rarely spent time with Aaliyah. She's a mature, twenty-seven year old woman who started her own business without her father's financial help. She doesn't have time for games nor holds a grudge against her younger sister.
When they meet it's obvious to Aaliyah that her sister doesn't know the whole truth about their parents' situation, and she tells her that. Sorboni wants the truth. She realizes her anger is emulating from her mother's hatred of Aaliyah's mother. As Aaliyah shares the truth through her eyes Sorboni is shocked by what she learns.
Her Father and Mine is a poignant tale about half-sisters meeting for the first time. How often are our thoughts not really our own? We allow others to influence our thinking as Sorboni's discovers. This is an inspiring short story and a must read.

Consequences of a Temptress Reviews
Zoë is a true temptress--beautiful, selfish, and she uses her body to get what she wants. Ahmad being a Christian man, and living for God doesn't stop her from her quest. She goes after him, she gets him, and now she has to live with herself. This is an inspiring story and a must read. I'm looking forward to reading more of Ms. Blount work!

Embracing Womanhood Reviews
Embracing Womanhood
4.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 Star Read...Oh To Age Gracefully, By
M. Bruner ""Deltareviewer" Real Page ... (Oklahoma!) - This review is from: Embracing Womanhood (Kindle Edition)
We all face the aging process differently - some graceful, some defiant, and some take it all in stride. In this tale, Danity Lee is having real issues with her maturing body. The reassurance of her husband and level headed talk from a dear friend help to rearrange her mind set. The comedic presentation of the storyline coupled with an original feminine subject makes this talk out loud funny.
Blount takes a serious topic and makes it relatable. The descriptions of how body parts sag, skin loosens and an expanding waistline are hilarious. While the emotional attachment on how society thinks you should look meets reality is rather sad. But doesn't this happen to everyone at some point in time? Thanks Blount for helping us laugh at your character while laughing at ourselves. This is a `green' (paperless) and economical (less than $3) way to share "how to age gracefully" with a friend.

How would you handle the aging process? Dainty Lee Montgomery is having a hard time dealing with the changes in her body--getting old. But with the support of her husband, Robert, and her coworkers, she will stop the tears, take a hard look at herself, and deal with the changes.
Ms. Blount weaves an inspiring story; every woman will one day have to face in this lifetime. The aging process will visit each of us, and how we handle these changes--physically and mentally are a part of life. This story touched my heart, because I just celebrated that Big 50th birthday this year. All of the emotions Dainty Lee felt, I experienced myself.
"Embracing Womanhood" was well written and descriptive. Robert was a phenomenal man, and he truly loved and supported his wife. The message is there--count your blessings, enjoy life, change the things you can, and accept the changes that can't be change!
Well done Ms. Blount. This is a must read!!!
