Publisher's Synopsis
A chance meeting in a rundown Baltimore coffee shop throws two jaded survivors from different sides of the tracks into a firestorm of old vendettas and radical racism.
36-year-old Michael is white, handsome, and successful. He should be living the good life, but fallout from his tough childhood, bigoted past, and heartbreaking tour in Vietnam nearly 20 years before won't give him a moment's peace.
La Lena is young, black and striking. As a single mother and ex-operative for a violent black power organization, she's desperately trying to distance herself and her adorable 8-year-old daughter from the terrible choices she's made.
Michael and La Lena should be sworn enemies, but they share an unlikely bond, and when their ugly pasts come roaring back into their lives it'll be put to the test.
Charm City Soul is not for sensitive readers. It's disturbing, racy, and politically incorrect. It'll make you laugh out loud too, but be warned, you're in for an emotionally turbulent ride.
