Book Review:

Petals of a Three-Leafed Clover is a coming of age Romantic Drama of many circumstantial events that actually happened. This story of moral growth, wisdom, and romance is based in Memphis during the challenging times of segregation and Jim Crow, coupled with the heart-rending horrors of discrimination and hate, based on skin color, amongst African American people. The story is told by Ann, one of the main characters, with input and commentary by a narrator. Ann, raised by her very wise grandmother, was taught to use good judgment and make wise choices in all endeavors. This wisdom and knowledge instilled in Ann from childhood was very valuable as she experienced life of a constant unfolding of heartbreaking events with her two best friends, Pot and Jenny. This inspiring Book of Love, Spiritual Wisdom, and Common Sense, is an eye-opening drama, venturing into many walks of life that’s possibly familiar to us all.
