Balancing Act Book

Anita Richmond Bunkley's gripping thriller starts with a bang: on the first day of her job as media spokesperson for ScanTron, a giant chemical company, Elise Jeffries has to deal with a disastrous explosion and fire right next to Flatwoods, the black Texas community where she grew up. The expensive clothes she bought on the credit card that she promised her husband she wouldn't use have already been damaged by soot and water, and now Elise has to deal with a far more frightening situation--the dawning realization that her employer may be responsible for killing off her old neighborhood. This is another superb combination of storytelling and activism by a writer who knows how to blend both for her readers' pleasure. Other Bunkley books in paperback include Black Gold, Starlight Passage, and Wild Embers. Read More
