About the Book

SISTER, BECAUSE OF YOU . . . is fiction. The sisters are Ella Willa and Bianca, educated, black women. Only Ella Willa, against great odds, tells her story. Her story is sociopolitical. Their Father, James Jules Wilcox, has a reason why he hates white people with a passion and says he would disown his daughters if they marry a white man. Because of Bianca's advice to her sister - "Love has no color"-Ella Willa falls in love with an English tourist named William Baxter that she meets at the mall at Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. Thirsty for being in love with a man who will truly love her, Ella Willa leaves her aged and sick Father and travels to London to seek the Englishman's love. She is a perfect woman but is getting hit by her present lover all the time until she meets this Englishman. SISTER, BECAUSE OF YOU . . . also speaks of the dirty politics of a New York congenital liar in high society and of a laugh-out-loud comedy.
