Synopsis
When Diamond La Rue begins college, she is young, naïve and very protected by the close-knit La Rue family. From the cocoon of her grandmother's brownstone in Sugar Hill, Harlem, Diamond must set out into the world and find her own way.
Smart, ambitious and loyal, she seeks to balance her family life and education with the new relationships she's formed as a student at Columbia University. At the same time, Diamond is expected to maintain the family secrets that surround her---the very secrets that could push the La Rue family over the edge.
Can Diamond have a life of her own and avoid the mistakes and traps that have hurt those around her?
Diamond's loyalties are tested when family and friends begin to question her allegiances. Alliances are challenged, boundaries are re-drawn, and misunderstandings bring about rivalries and destruction.
Set against the backdrop of a Harlem on the cusp of change, Diamond's journey takes her from the hills of Harlem down to SoHo and out into the rich suburban enclaves of New York City and everywhere in between.
Will Diamond La Rue find everything that she is looking for or will smoke get in her eyes?

Looking for the best contemporary fiction book to add to your list of books to read in a lifetime? This contemporary novel will help you narrow down your own list of must-read modern book. I’ve written before about my reading bucket list, and I have tips for putting together your own book bucket list. While you may not read all of the books on that list, the contemporary fiction list goes hand-in-hand with the others in my series on books for your lifetime reading list. Not my usual read. But read on the recommendation of a friend . Don’t expect the script of the TV series the book is much much better. Nascha a Joli uses words to spin a tale in which you get entangled. I really didn’t want to put it down.
I am speechless after reading this novel. If i talk about narrative then it's totally different from any other novel. Though the novel is one of its kind no doubt about that. And as one will progress the story will unfold infront of them. There are superfluous details which i thought made the novel more lengthy but then I can assume that it's the character's thought that the reader is reading. if it's a story, even in my head, I must be telling it to someone
You don't tell a story only to yourself. There's always someone else. Even when there is no one.
Nevertheless, for the beauty of narration and a unique plot, I will recommend this to everyone.
Highly Recommended!
