This is my first introduction to author, Marian L. Thomas. I liked this book as well as the author's writing style. Ms. Thomas does seem to infuse life into her characters as well as building a good storyline around them. I did experience this from reading this book. However, I struggled for quite some time in the beginning to find a connection to both the story and characters. To be honest, it was not until I was about a third of the way into the story that I warmed up to the characters and the story.

Which once you get to the point that I did of connecting with teh story; it is a good one. Learning about Addie's mother's past, it was easy to see why she taught Addie the three lessons that she did. Inner beauty if more important then outer beauty. Knowledge is power. Finally, finding a man who loves you and is in it forever is very important. I would read another book from this author.… (més)

This book is written beautifully; the story flows easily, the characters leap off the page; I love the way the author wrapped real life events into the story of Precious Blue Johnson. This story touched my heart, and made me fall in love with Precious, because like her, I was searching for my biological father too.

Blue Butterfly tells more than the story of a girl who becomes a ballerina at a time when black ballerinas were practically unheard of. It also tells the story of unrequited love, prejudice, and family secrets. It has the right amount of drama, along with the bittersweet taste of forbidden love. It makes you want to laugh, cry, fall out, and cuss, especially when Precious reads her mother's journal, and learns what her grandmother did. It had me wanting to strangle that lady, but good!

I'd recommend Blue Butterfly to anyone who's looking for a great read!… (més)

For some women having children is something natural, something they look forward to. A child can be a blessing and can change your life forever. However, there are also women who choose not to have children, and the problem is that they are often regarded in a strange way by other people. They start asking themselves questions as to why a woman would refuse to have a child, and they might reach answers that are very far from the truth. In her newest book, which will be published on January 20, 2015, bestselling author Marian L. Thomas explains that if a woman doesn’t want to have children it doesn’t necessarily mean that she doesn’t like children.

“Living the Empty Carriage Way of Life!” is a fun, entertaining chapbook that focuses on a woman’s decision to remain childless. Marian L. Thomas herself made this choice, and she is perfectly happy with it. Her book is a well-balanced blend of non-fiction and fictional elements, and it ends up being a hilarious, yet candid discussion of this matter. First of all, she insists on the idea that being childless is a choice any woman can make, not a movement. Too often people interpret this choice as a sign that the woman who doesn’t want to have children is selfish or too focused on her career. In reality, it has nothing to do with any of these things.

Marian L. Thomas talks about her own case, and she builds a fascinating story that will keep readers glued to the pages. The conclusion is that she has chosen to be childless, she considers it ok, as everyone else should, and she tells all the women out there that it is perfectly fine if they don’t want to have children. They should never listen to what other people have to say or do what the society sometimes tries to impose. It’s all about their choice and their own happiness.

“Living the Empty Carriage Way of Life!” will be available for pre-order on the author’s website on November 7, 2014.… (més)
