Summary: Wow! What a great read!
Review: Africa Fine creates a convincing array of people, a mix of races where the basic humanity of all is more significant. This is a love story about the tensions between childhood dreams and coming-of-age reality. Definitely a new author worth watching for.

Summary: Dreams do die
Review: In KATRINA, Africa Fine presents us with the story of a young woman facing the reality of living life through a childhood dream. At age 27, Katrina Larson is pining away over her childhood friend, Patrick Flannery. The two were so close that people said their names together in one phrase, KatrinaandPatrick. They shared everything. After graduating from college, the plan was to move in together. Patrick, however, decided to travel the world with friends and experience life, leaving Katrina alone and on her own for five years. Then he mysteriously reappears one night and instantly they discover the love between them. Patrick's secrecy and emotional distance keeps the relationship from flourishing. All the unanswered questions leads Katrina into the arms of Linc Walker, a man that is open and attentive by contrast. As Katrina finds herself walking through the maze of life, which direction does she chose?KATRINA is a wonderful story about a young woman growing up and moving on as she realizes that some dreams are just that, dreams. It's sometimes better if we don't act on them, because people do eventually grow up. This was a classy novel in which Ms. Fine used a mix of races and people to cover the broad spectrum of relationships today. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.
