Worth a Thousand Words

June 1, 2009
Indigo Burns knows exactly where she is going in life until boyfriend Brian's unexpected and very public marriage proposal brings about an engagement that Indigo is not sure she really wants. Torn between her career aspirations and marriage, Indigo has some major soul searching in store in order to face the hard decisions in her future. VERDICT Adams's second series title (after "The Someday List") is an excellent yet complex contemporary tale of faith and family that features a strong, independent African American protagonist and well-crafted supporting characters. Sure to appeal to twenty-something women and readers who want African American fiction that goes beyond "the streets."
