Reader comments:

Vivid was "together" and Nate was simply "fine". I love the way you captured the essence of the extended family. I too am engaged to a single father and I sincerely hope that i will come to love and cherish my new stepson like Vivid was sble to do with Magic. (M.M.G., 3-18-97) A heroine with lots of spunk and common sense. (M.L., 3-15-97) Unlike anything I've ever read. Great Historical Notes, not unlike Susan Johnson in that regard. Entertaining as well as educational. (S.J., 3-11-97) I loved Vivid. Someone recommended the book to me and I fell in love with it. I can not seem to find Night Song anywhere, is it out of print? (J.C., 1-27-97) Vivid was terrific. I could not put it down. I loved the way she combined the history and romance. The book flowed perfectly. I will be looking for all of Beverly Jenkins' books. (C.S.F., 12-6-96) This book is a gem! Vivid, Night Song, and Indigo (which I have now read 4 times thank you) are true works of art. The characters and plot of each book are of the highest quality. (S.C., 11-27-96) Vivid is the best book I have read, I am now reading Beverly Jenkins latest book Indigo and it is excellent. Beverly is an excellent writer. Keep up the good work, you have me completely hooked on your books. (A.S., 11-3-96) I enjoyed this book too! (S.G.B., 6-8-96) I especially loved how the author is informing us while entertaining us at the same time. Wonderful book!!! Do buy it!!! (M.C., 5-27-96) I love the interplay with the characters. The town was so rich with color. I loved this book and plan to share it with other African-American women. (S.G., 5-15-96) I thoroughly enjoyed this book. (P.C., 4-15-96)
