1980s bullyingawareness comingofage familyandfriends humor interracial middleschool military pacificanorthwest racial youngadult

Set in the late '80s Pacific Northwest, the story bridges the cultural differences between two young girls, Venisa Brooks and Jasmine Tremaine Hunter, from grade school until college. The girls' needs defy their cultural differences and they forge a friendship that has no boundaries until the young women they are becoming reveal more about their friendship than they ever imagined. 

Warning: This is a 'first draft" of a book written when I was in 8th grade over 20 years ago. LOL. I'm posting it on Wattpad in its original version (with light-to-medium editing) for now, to get feedback before doing a full rewrite.   With that said, there are cultural and personal matters addressed in a way that may or may not be politically correct today. But I plan to keep as much of my "original" writer voice for when this was written as possible. So please guard your mind and protect your peace. 

Please like, comment and/or follow. I could use the encouragement.  ;-)All Rights Reserved
