Summary: Realistically deals with complex issues in well defined text
Review: Boy! was I mistaken. I passed over Ms. Kitt's book too often and delayed enjoying a really good book. She shows true depth in her character development while dealing with complex issues like prejudice, identity crisies, bi-racial and uni-racil relationships and preferences, single parenting, teen pregnancy and drug abuse, peer pressure, corporate pressures and last but not least senuality between a man and a woman. I was thankful she refrained from referring to Patricia as "Red". Good job Ms. Kitt! I will certainly be looking for more of your works. Thanks for the refreshing change from the ho-hum romance/fiction work out there and for giving your readers "something to think about"; some substance.

Summary: A wonderful story...
Review: I was very pleased with this book. Sandra touched on a lot of issues that go on everyday in our community and handled them well. But, I would have liked a little more detail on the ending of Morgan and Beverly's relationship. And, I'm still trying to visualize a light-skinned African-American with red hair. Nevertheless, it was a touching love story.

You go Sandra!

Summary: A Touching Love Story
Review: Patricia is a sistah who knows who she is. However, the world does not always treat her kindly. With her ivory skin and red hair, Patricia is racially ambiguoius. Some have to look at her twice to see the Black in her. And others miss it altogether.

However, Patricia is not interested in pretending to be something that she is not. She is a high school counselor and she is dedicated to her students.

She takes interest in a biracial teen Kent who is having problems in school. The kids won't accept him because of his color.

Patricia is a bold sistah. She forces her way into the office of successful African American businessman Morgan who is the father of Kent. Her methods are unorthodox, but this is the way that she shows that she cares about her students.

At first, Morgan sees Patricia as a crazy white woman with wild red hair. Later, he realizes that she is African American.

Morgan is taken aback by Patricia's brashness. And at first, he is turned off by Patricia's fair skin. Yes, his ex-wife was white, but a sistah who appears to be white is not the same. His current girlfriend is a brown skinned successful attorney who dresses in elegant clothes and is refined. She is everything that Patricia is not. The current girlfiend also lacks interest in Morgan's son.

Morgan who is dark skinned is not color struck. That is not his style. He learns to accept Patrica for who she is and ends his relationship with his attorney girlfriend.

Patricia and Morgan embark a romance that deals with interracial issues with Morgan's son Kent and intra-racial relations within the African American community.

Significant Others is a touching love story and a must read.

Summary: A Good, Consistant Read
Review: SIGNIFICANT OTHERS was lengthy, yet, for a reason. The characters were fleshed out carefully and a story was developed nicely. My favorite was Kent, not because of his biracial heritage, but because of his struggle with himself to fit in somewhere...anywhere, for that matter. Kudos, Ms Kitt. A worthy accomplishment for anyone who has felt left out and want to join the human race on his or her best terms.

Summary: Great book!!!
Review: This was my first time reading Sandra Kitt's work. The book dealt with real issues (teenage pregnancy, abortion, drugs, and interracial marriage, and the problems this can cause for children such as Kent. Patricia related to Kent's problem of identity because she had experienced this herself. I was very pleased with the way Ms. Kitt concluded this one. Great love story too.
