Star in the Making

Let me tell you the praises I have for the book, first, the lessons learned in this book are immeasurable. I learned that having a backup plan in life is essential. Also reading about women's views on relationships in these books definitely keeps my attention. I liked the interaction of black women in the workplace and how it was described down to the T. This was just a book that kept my attention and left me wanting more. Thank you for a great book and I can't wait for the next.Good Job Yvonne...you have a fan in me

Energizing and Inspiring!

This books explores the struggles and triumphs encountered in one's personal, professional and Spiritual life. It is a very realistic novel that gives readers something to take with them. The author's use of Scripture and powerful proverbs are inspiring. It is a book you can't put down and it inspires you to keep pressing on - as the character Gladys puts it when she said "you just have to lift yourself up and not bow to your nights." Thank you Yvonne Grays Nathane for a great work!

A Plight of Professional America

Ms. Nathane has captured the truth using the language that I am sure exist in the walls of professional America. The shame is- so much is lost when we judge books and people by the outer covering. This country, each company and the world could do so much more for its clients, and humanity if only we all matured spiritually and in a more humanistic way. Ms. Nathane, I hope there is more of this wonderful story to come. It doesn't go without a "uh huh" from so many sisters and brothers alike.

Working in the Dark worked for me!!!!!!!!

The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover, then the title made me want to know what the sister on the cover was working. From page number one I was taken into the world of corporate america at its finest. The main character was not to be broken or punked. She stood for what she believed in. Working in the Dark was one of the best books I have read in a long time. It takes a lot for me to say a book is good and this one is high on my list. I even went out and bought all my friends a copy so that we all could talk about it.Good job Yvonne, I can't wait for the next book.

Lighting the way

"Working in the Dark" by first time novelist Yvonne Gray Nathane, sheds a blinding light on the corporate culture of the late 80's and 90's. Set in the city of Chicago, Nathane's story takes one down familiar streets on the southside, and expense restuarants downtown.This story gives voice to many ladder crawlers throughout the nation. From beginning to end the story reads like a screenplay; hopefully in the future we all may be viewing "Working in the Dark" in the dark of a theatre and applauding the wit, spirit and guts of the heroine.
