In The Nick Of Time By Lasonya Jones-Lamine

It seems as if poor Nicole "Nick" Lewis, the main character in this story was dealt a bad hand from the start. Unaware of who her father was and dealing with a mother like Isis that put every and anything before her daughter, this young lady made poor choices as a youngster due to not having the guidance, direction, and simply the love all youngsters require and need in life to make it.

Despite of the toxic relationship she had with her abusive boyfriend Mike, dealing with Harrold, her mothers boyfriend who uses their house as a revolving door every time he's released from prison,and her mother placing even more distance between their relationship which resulted to Nicole moving further and further away from her life, her high school friend, Jeniffer and her mother were the only one's in this young ladies corner.

This was until with the assistance of Jeniffer that Nick found her biological father Papa G. Establishing a relationship with Papa G was a good thing for Nick. In this short period of time, they both were able from their own individual perspectives to grasp and appreciate the true meaning of a father and daughters love.

There are many more great twist and turns in this novel. From Crystal, Darron, and Victor entering the story, to the amazing surprise at the end, In the Nick of Time covers it all. I just wish the story line involved more of Jennifer and her mother. But some reason, I just have a feeling that we will hear more about them in In the Nick of Times 2 which is coming soon. Great job on your first book Ms. LaSonya Jones-Lamine.
