Book Pamela 
I hope my books offer inspiration. They often reflect life experiences, thus being written from the heart. Each reader is invited to take a journey into the lives of my characters and witness the struggles they face within their own communities. But more importantly, I hope each reader is encouraged to embrace diversity and have the courage to make a difference.

Color Struck

Award-winning YA novel

Published June 2010

"I wish I could've read Color Struck by a fireplace because you escape right into the book when "listening" to Grandma Bell tell her story. This was one of the most emotionally-charged books I've read."
(Urban Reviews)

"The Tucks have brought a story of healing and forgiving. I recommend this book for young adults. They will get to learn a little of how African Americans struggled within their own community. And see how far we have come and hopefully not repeat the same mistakes."
