Praise For Painted On Souls & Savor The Sweetness:

"Painted On Souls is a good book. It shows how one can or can't survive, and that maybe we should look at people twice before we are quick to judge them. You never know what happened before they got to the situation they are in now. Some people may be stronger than others. Touching read."
- OOSA Online Bookclub

"This novel is a great look inside how children suffer due to the absenteeism of their parents. Painted On Souls exhibits blatant neglect of provision of the major
necessities of raising a well-balanced individual to contribute to society. Alverson has penned an insightful read that will generate much thought. It is without doubt a must read for parents."
- Books2Mention Magazine

"Much Sweetness to Savor in this Book
This book makes you want to hurry up to get to the end, but don't forget to "Savor the Sweetness" of it. Marchel Alverson has a great writing style that wraps you up in the story.

Escape with this book. I think all women will relate to the themes of relationships, friendships, sex, motherhood. It's even a little sexy at times. Just a little more sweetness for you."
- L. Berry

Savor the Sweetness

There is an old adage; “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” But what happens when your closest friend becomes your greatest enemy? 

Celeste Gray and Terri Hunter are best friends who seemingly have everything – lavish homes, luxury cars, designer labels, beautiful children and doting husbands. At the center of their friendship lies a private orange grove where the twosome meet to share their innermost thoughts and partake of the delectable fruit.

Though they are spoiled rotten by the sweet life, what they posses is not what they desire. For Celeste, it is an escape from her life as a homemaker. For Terri, it is the attention she desperately seeks from an online romance.

When a tragic hit-n-run accident kills Celeste’s husband, Jayland, both their lives are left in ruins. In the aftermath of the crash, guilt forces the duo on a downward spiral of events. Terri searches for a deeper connection on the Internet, while Celeste solicits sexual favors from Rowan, Terri’s barely legal son.

Grief has never turned so bitter as secrets are discovered and deception is unearthed in the lives of the women and the “sacred” orchard that connects them

 

Painted on Souls

An explosive multiracial family saga that begins in the bitter cold of 1970s mid-America featuring the Matthews family - Holli, Charles and Kasha.  

They must fight the "fleshes" of the world, and the skeletons of their past on their quest for love. Charles, a black hustler, clings to the streets, his love affair with lust, and the memory of the mother who abandoned him. Holli, a former stripper who grew up within the white confines of an abusive father, must battle her own childhood scars.

Once they divorce, the estranged lovers take separate paths that lead them to turmoil and addiction – leaving Kasha, their biracial daughter, to raise herself. A gifted artist, she must face molestation, promiscuity, an identity crisis and her mother’s vices.

Can Holli and Charles come to grips in enough time to save their daughter?
