People who date interracially are often called traitors to their own kind. Self-haters. Sellouts.
Loan Officer Tammy McDonald has just come out of another failed relationship with a wannabe thug. To break this destructive pattern, she leaves her home city of Dallas for San Diego. As she settles in rainbow California, fantasies of meeting an ebony prince fade, so she eyes Dale Bristol as a potential ivory replacement.
Terrell Jackson is San Diego's only black optometrist. Women regularly drop in for more than just eye exams, but he stays true to his girl Tasha until a wet dream unleashes a ridiculous outburst. Fed up with her jealous fits, he denounces the common "dedramanators" in his life-black women.
Even though Penelope Miller was raised in the South by a racist father once affiliated with the KKK, she can't ignore her attraction to black men. But she never expected to fall in love with one...nor did she expect her "interracial felony" to threaten their lives.
SELLOUT follows these three individuals and the consequences of dating outside their race. In the quest to find what they think is missing in their lives, they encounter guilt, fear and mess they never anticipated...including murder. (edited by author)
Customer Reviews
Great read!!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I'm glad the author tackles the controversial issue the way he did. This topic is personal to me, so it was good to see different viewpoints expressed. The characters were relatable and the storyline was believeable. The humor in this book was an added bonus.
Engrossing
This debut novel was even better than anticipated! The characters were so vivid and real. I felt like any one of them could have been a friend or family member. I can't wait for the next one by this author!
