She narrates how she connected the dots as a young girl who lost touch with her biological father and experienced the same loss with her stepfather, revealing how this affected her adolescent years both positively and negatively. Pretty Black serves to help mothers and fathers understand the importance of a healthy bond between a daughter and her daddy. That bond helps a daughter make healthy decisions about her future relationships. Through this story, you’ll discover the God-given strengths within the writer and how God has so beautifully designed her to become His vessel of honor. Know there are detours along the way, but faith and persistence bring her to God’s expected end.
