Thank you Nika for this gift." Terrie M. Williams Author, Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We're Not Hurting "This is an exciting book that fully explores the option of single status and the lives of the women who choose it… Nika Beamon gives women making life choices a window into the thought processes of other women who have made similar choices. It is an important addition to work on the lives and options of African American women, and it is an absorbing read." Julianne Malveaux President, Bennett College for Women "Although I am an award-winning filmmaker, TV personality and author, many of my family members feel as though I lead a shallow and empty life because I choose to be unmarried without children. In this well-researched and thoughtful tome, Nika Beamon has given a voice to true choice among women in this post-millennial era." Author of the novel, Dare
