...raising your own children. I love children so much....That would be my dream if my husband would tell me I could stay home with my kids. Harvard students don't understand that mentality. People think you just want to stay home because you're lazy or a gold-digger. I don't need them to support me. I'll call...
...where conflict often revolves around a town's monied Protestant dynasty and its less privileged newcomers. Here, we have the Cranes vs. the Lopez-Fitzgeralds. In typically unseemly soap opera fashion, it is Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald (Lindsay Korman), Hispanic and the daughter of a maid, who is the gold digger who goes after Harmony's wealthiest young scion.

But from Chester Himes' Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson to Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins and Valerie Wilson Wesley's Tamara Hayle, they've usually dealt with gritty murders on streets where the living ain't easy. Thomas-Graham and Cuthbert share a different m.o. "There have been very few protagonists that we've seen who are young black women operating in rarefied environments intellectually," says Thomas-Graham...
