The Complexity of Relationships Captured in White's Debut Novel - Chasing Eden

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 25, 2008 – Rarely do we see a novel that completely captures the complexities of modern-day relationships, but Ashanti L. White does so with ease in her first fiction novel, Chasing Eden (ISBN-13: 978-0981532615).  Set to be released June 2008, Chasing Eden chronicles the main character, Reegan’s journey to overcome the heartbreak of an ex-lover, while dealing with the challenges of her new relationship. However, this isn’t your average romance story.  It is filled with a number of complex romantic, platonic, and parental relationships that affect Reegan’s life in numerous ways.

Chasing Eden’s most unique feature is its 20 discussion questions, included at  the end of the novel.  These questions provoke thought from the reader and are great guides for book club dialogue.

While Chasing Eden is White’s first novel, she has been writing and professionally performing poetry since the age of sixteen.  Her works have appeared in Timeless Voices—a poetry collection, Black Enterprise and The Amistad, among other publications.  White is currently a senior writer and contributing editor for DV8 Magazine in Atlanta and a literary critic for the
Library Journal.

Chasing Eden is the debut release of UrbanEdge Publishing, a small, traditional publishing house in the metro-Atlanta area.  For more information on Chasing Eden and its author, Ashanti L. White, visit www.ashantiwhite.com.  Books can be purchased through this website for $14.95 for trade paperback and $19.95 for hardcover.
