Fresh out of juvie, eighteen-year-old Frank Moreno returns home to the same problems he’d left —- his older sister’s precarious life with her pimping boyfriend, drugs and easy money. In order to protect his sister, Frankie’s forced to do a little work for her pimp. He quickly finds himself pulled back into the dark world of crime. He senses his longtime girlfriend pulling away, but he’s determined to get his sister, and himself, away from her abusive boyfriend — even if it forces him to leave his girl and his friends behind. Gang rivalry doesn’t die easily. His best buddies continue to pull at him, searching for his leadership, but Frankie’s done, ready to leave that world. With help from his mentor, an ex-gang leader himself, they plan an escape to a new life. Will Frankie’s complicated past put an end to his dreams?

The Good Place meets Sliding Doors, Begin Again is an uplifting novel about life's what if's, missed chances and new beginnings. Despite living firmly in her comfort zone, Frankie McKenzie feels unsettled. She can't help feeling something's missing. Is it a home to call her own? Travel? A more rewarding job? A relationship? Before she can work it out, she dies in a freak kebab-related accident after yet another dud of a first date. But life isn't over for Frankie. Instead, she is offered a second chance: Frankie can revisit key moments from her past to see if different choices will lead her away from that fateful takeaway and on to the fulfilling life she's always dreamt of. Soon, Frankie will see what her life would have been if only she'd caught that one-way flight, accepted the marriage proposal or attended the intimidating job interview. Will she finally find her Mr Right? Or discover she already had? What would you change if you could begin again?

This book uses a black/white interracial lens to examine the lives and careers of eight prominent American-born actresses from the silent age through the studio era, New Hollywood, and into the present century: Josephine Baker, Nina Mae McKinney, Fredi Washington, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Lonette McKee, Jennifer Beals and Halle Berry. Combining biography with detailed film readings, the author fleshes out the tragic mulatto stereotype, while at the same time exploring concepts and themes such as racial identity, the one-drop rule, passing, skin color, transracial adoption, interracial romance, and more. With a wealth of background information, this study also places these actresses in historical context, providing insight into the construction of race, both onscreen and off.
