Customer Reviews

Two Sugars Please

Deliverance is joy. This is an excellent book with lessons of love woven into the stories of all the main characters. God prevails. God is still in the miracle working business. As you are engulfed into the pages of this novel, you will see the work of the devil defeated. If you are familiar with the work of Franklin White, you will agree that this is a great work that will leave you speechless and overjoyed.

Smooth, enjoyable read!

From beginning to end, this novel captured my attention as Franklin White added a Cup of Good Old-Fashioned Love with scandal, adversity and tragedy. The mix was well done, and the end result was deliciously sweet.Cup of Love is well-written and enlightening. The drama interspersed with spirituality create a credible and interesting story of friends and family who learn that love conquers all!

Spiritually Moving...

Franklin White has done it again!! A Cup of Love is absolutely moving! The way he mixed spiritual and "worldly" issues combined in this book could make a someone think twice. Once I started reading Cup of Love, I started feeling myself within the book. The issues between Vance and Artise is something I'm sure all can relate too. Oh, but let's not forget about Ethan. We all know someone like him. I didn't like his character too much in the beginning but when those babies died, I really felt for him. Even the issue's between Artise and her Mother was real. I think this book is especially important because it also leaves a spritual impact on those who believe. The bible verses, prayer quotes all kept us on our toes. I give all praise for Franklin White because not many authors can "flip" their writing styles like that. (compared to Fed Up With The Fanny.) I can't wait to see what he has lined up next...Excellent...!

Can't wait to see what's next!

WHAT A WONDERFUL READ! Franklin White in his novel took me back to so many conversations I've had with my girlfriends and situations we've all been through at one time or another. Mother/daughter, best friends and even trying to understand anothers sexual orientation without being disrespectful. The male characters commitment to GOD was also very refreshing and let me see how men fight within themselves to do the right thing by their mate. Cup of Love has it all- but the most surprising them to me is, I didn't know about Franklin's ability in writing passionate, relatable, thought provoking poetry. I see great things ahead for this author and highly recommend this book.

Moving, Unpredictable, and Invigorating

I found Cup of Love by Franklin White to be a wonderfully well-written, engaging, and page turning follow-up to Fed Up With The Fanny. Right from the beginning Franklin White had me smiling, laughing, thinking, and reacting to the story he's written that involves many memorable and likable characters. The story simply takes you on a journey -- an almost cinematic-like journey - of love, loss, and restoration. I really enjoyed some of the character's insight, wisdom, and observations as they dealt with problems dealing with infidelity, life choices, etc. Cup of Love was also inspiring and made me ponder my own life and the way I view things. On another note, there are lots of twists and turns that I wasn't able to foresee (well, I did manage to guess one character's final behavior -- specifically, Vance's). Overall, expect Cup of Love to go beyond being a typical novel. It is an important and refreshing piece of work. Mr. White, if you're reading this, more, more, more!!!
