Book excerpt: A young African American single mother finds herself fighting against all odds of survival. Royal Pasley tries to raise her two sons Allen and Chip in a loving and caring home in Birmingham, Alabama. With her head held high, you would never know that she was just one step above poverty. She also weathered a failed marriage, and relationships that were dead-end; maybe not all of them were dead-ends. Lawrence is a breath of fresh air, but Royal is too independent to realize what she has. Begrudging neighbors Dot and Victoria scheme to inflict pain that will last a life-time and cause scars that will never heal. Just wait until you see what caper this mother/daughter tag team come up with against Royal and her boys. You can never stand outside your neighbors' house and tell what's going on inside, we are all just spectators Outside Looking In.
