Customer Reviews

Fabulous read!

I loved every facet of this book! All the characters gave me a situation in which I could really feel and the main character defintely had her work cut out for her as she tried to weave herself into a new prospective on life and deal with those who she felt was really holding her back from achieving even more great things. Franklin White continues to be one of my favorite authors. Potentially Yours was fast paced, engrossing and the relationships between the ex-husband and step daughter were very hartwarming. I think this is one of the better books of 2004!

DRAMA FILLED!

I thought this book was great! It starts off with a lady who is tryin to better her life, but everyone in her family along with her friends are affected by her decision to do better-even though she is really really paid and making more money than most people. Her change begins to start drama and from there the book goes into this rapper named Lil'Shae who is a trip and for some reason lets her boyfriend boss her around, tell her what to do and do freaky things to her even though she is the one making the money and paying all the bills while he sits around the house. There are other storylines as well, and they are all very good. Franklin White is still one of my favorite authors and he has to be in the top five authors writing fiction. I also like Eric Jerome Dickey and Zane. Read this book!

Top Notch Story

The events of September 11, 2001 shook this country to the core and changed the world as a whole. The attacks put things into a whole new perspective and caused many people to change their entire outlook. This is the case with Synthia Gage, the protagonist in Franklin White's latest title, Potentially Yours. Being an eyewitness to the attacks on the World Trade Center caused Synthia to realize that her whole life was not being lived to its potential. She decides to make drastic changes that have a spiraling affect on those closest to her: daughter, Clarke, her best friend, Byron, and her ex-husband, Thomas. All involved learn that although change is necessary, it may not always be easy. Franklin White has penned a moving tale that encourages and inspires, while tackling social issues such as religion, domestic violence, and drugs. Potentially Yours is a page-turner from beginning to end. The rich characterizations allow the reader to feel an instant connection with Synthia, her family, and her associates. The story flows smoothly and is teased with just enough drama to make it engrossing without being over the top. Potentially Yours will challenge readers to take at look at their own lives to determine if they are living up to their full potential and inspire them to change. Readincolor Reviewers Toya

Plenty of Drama

A quick read that keeps you on edge. The author is one of my favorites and still continues to develop excellent stories that keep you captavated. Highly recommended.

Excellent

I adored this novel! It was fantastic. You have a women who wants to change her life around a bit and others in her life who ae trying to tell her-"Everything is just fine." I thought this novel hit home when it came to dysfunctional families who try to stay together along with the other relationships that occur with friends and associates. The author did an excellent job with the rapper Lil' Shae! She was a mess and Synthia has her hands full trying to represent what Lil' Shae stands for and represents. I give the book 5 stars only because I can't give more. This author is ranked up their with my favorites and that's including Dickey and Harris, may be a little better. This one you should read.
