The award winning online magazine of multi-cultural literature, Sormag’s Blog, reviewed the book described as “thought provoking and exciting to read.” Contemporary characters in each story examine different life experiences.  Life is not always one dimensional, which is why each story tells a different story through the eyes of a central character. “I don’t just want my stories to entertain, I want it to give morals, and teach lessons. My hope is that the stories will act as coffee table reads that spark conversation amongst people, says Rauf.

Rauf , who is currently on a West Coast book tour , will  be  signing books and speaking to  the public  at  the Leimert Park Village Book Fair , founded in 2006 by Cynthia Ethusian Exum .The goal of  the event  is a  personal message  that is dear  to Rauf’s  heart , and that  is to promote  literacy and education . The event today now attracts over 200 authors, poets, spoken word artists, storytellers, performers, and literary/educational exhibitor participants – and boasts an audience of over 5,000.
