In her attempt to understand the black condition, Sheila must first understand the psychological stereotypes levied         against blacks in general. She must also come to terms with the relationship between the black man and woman, their mind-set, and why she is unable to         open herself to love.     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e         Through her friends, Tameka, one of Chicago’s top defense attorneys, and Connie, a successful small business owner, they, in their many debates and         discussions, look at the plight of blacks.     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003e         Although these exchanges are informative, Sheila, however, still struggles with in her consciousness to find a solution that will bring her people to         an awakened state.

Therefore, Sheila is convinced that an awakening is         needed and that someone must sound the alarm.         \u003cbr\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165729964272,"sku":"9781469198576","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469198576_p0.jpg?v=1763698889","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469198576","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
