The Black College Sabbatical Spring Quarter by Tracie Christian

A product of a Historically Black institution myself, the wonderful life lessons that take place at these prestigious institutions are under told.  Often for African-American students, attending a “Black College” provide the initial opportunity to both identify and recognize where we actually fit in this cold, mean, and crazy world.  There’s no such thing as a perfect institution or, facility of higher learning. So many amazing good and not so good stories take place at HBCU’s.   The fact seems to remain that the stories are rarely unfolded through literary reads. Finally a brilliant author acknowledges, identifies, and through one hell of an effort addresses the need by providing a version of the “Africa-American Student Experience” while attending a “Black University” literary saga to be shared with all. 

 Authoress Tracie Christian dares to remedy this challenge through her fictional series of The Black College Sabbatical. The characters and the way the roles play out in this final book of Christian’s trilogy far by none is “superb!”  The juicy plot keeps you turning pages!  People as you read this book I can assure you that the only problem or challenge you may face is putting it down!  Although the book is classified as a fictional read…it definitely posses the characteristics of a “True Story.” 

To actually see the growth and the accomplishments of all of the students attending ‘Heritage University" was heart- felt for me.  Finally, a writer came along and told ONE great story about my people aiming higher on this planet to simply become better.  Yes, the third book of Christian’s trilogy is the end of the Black College Sabbatical series however, this trilogy shall forever serve as one of the greatest “How to Make it Guides” in HBCU history.

Outstanding Christian!  I applaud your success.
