In honor of Sisterhood Month, our Delta Bookmark March Selection is The Love Child’s Revenge by our national Delta Spotlight Author, Soror Nicole Bailey-Williams!

Claudie “Peach” Fryar is a vixen. Born to a mother who works as a domestic for the Harrisons, an affluent African American family who resides in Philadelphia’s East Oak Lane section, Claudia has felt like an outsider all of her life. She’s chubby, she stutters and she grows up with her nose pressed against the windowpane, peering in on the lives of the privileged Harrison girls. It’s not enough that they grew up attending elite events and holding membership in exclusive clubs, but the matriarch of the Harrison clan seem to revel in torturing young Claudia. Why? Her husband, the respectable Louis Harrison, is young Claudia’s father also! When he dies, Claudia’s mother is fired and the two are virtually run out of town, oblivious to the fact that Louis has made provision in his will to take care of his “love child”. When Claudia returns to Philadelphia years later after learning that she’s been cheated out of her share of wealth, she’s full of venom with an ax to grind! She’s vowed to get revenge for every privilege that she’s been denied and she’ll stop at nothing to get it!
