Drive Delivers

I really enjoyed reading "Driven" by Kashamba Williams.It is The story of Marv Jr aka Nasir, his mom an ex-felon named Loretta, his deceased dad Marv sr,his baby mama and other females in his life. Nasir tries to do right, but it's hard without the guidance of a father, and a mom who's been in prison most of his life. And now that Loretta is out, she doesn't try very hard to build a relationship with Nasir or his sister Sheena. Join theese folks for a crazy ride. I can't wait for the sequel.

Generations of a Father's Love

KaShamba Williams "puts it down something lovely" in her latest novel 'Driven'. Starting with a bang and ending with intrigue and drama; this book centers around Nasir and his love for his son, Little Marv. Nasir is a young man looking to break a disguised generational curse and do the right thing by raising his son (which incidentally does not include his baby momma) while settling down with Farren(his latest attraction). Nakea insists her and their baby are a package deal and vows to make Nasir's life hell until he sees things her way. Loretta (his mother)is a woman scorned whose past forces her to act irrationally, betraying her own son. And Nasirs jump off?.... Well, we are kept guessing as to her true identity, but whoever she is definitely has issues. KaShamba stays true to form. She powerfully pens a story that not only entertains, but sends a serious message that needs to be acknowledged in today's urban society in order to heal dysfunctional families.

She did it again!

People may have doubted my Williams because of Grimey, but Ms. Williams is giving you another page turner, this is a most read novel. I could not put this one down either. Nasir mother Loretta was a triffling b****. It was nobody fault that she went to jail, she made that conscious and reckless decision all them years ago and she had to reap the consequences, which by the way was harsh. I could not believe she was on some kitty type sh**. I can't wait to the sequel comes out and she finds out who the old head her son's really messing with and when she do she going to fly over the roof. She deserves everything she get for trying to play his new girlfriend out like she did. I cannot wait to Ms. Williams sequel comes out. I hope it drops in 2005 because I am anticipating your novel.

YOU DID IT AGAIN

Ms. William's won't stop! She keeps dropping books at the pace an avid reader will love. I loved blinded and wasn't disappointed with Grimey. But DRIVEN is off the hook!!!
