She was one of our finest writers. BeBe will truly be missed. My favorite book by BeBe is "What You Owe Me." She was a master storyteller. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/27/AR2006112700819. html BeBe rest in peace. |

I always thought BeBe's book "Brothers and Sisters" was a definitive work about the relationship between black men and women. She was an excellent writer, more perceptive than Terri McMillan and less esoteric than Toni Morrison. Her literary voice will be missed in the world of black readers. |

Brothers and Sisters always gets high praise. I'll have it read it as soon as possible. "72 Hour Hold" is excellent too. |

Very sad news! I didn't know that was her daugther either --she is so gorgeous! I didn't know that she was a former drug addict and had a child. I didn't even know she was married. I thought she was so young. Guess not! |
