The First Review
I am thrilled to report that The Black Girl Next Door has been reviewed for the first time! Check out Publisher’s Weekly of September 15th.
Here’s just a bit of the review:
“In elegant prose, Baszile shares enlightening observations throughout: “Dad never complained about being a black man… but he couldn’t disguise its particular perils.” Proud and comfortable in her skin, as well as clearheaded about its hazards, Baszile has written a classic portrait of that girl next door.”

I would have posted even if the review had been unfavorable, and I recognize the perils of living on external praise. Still, the review itself means that the book is circulating in the world, and that’s what I always wanted.
I off to twitter this!
I am so thrilled beyond measure!!!!!!!!
