Amazon Category:  Relationships Publisher: Publish America ISBN-10:  1413772013 Type: Fiction Pages: 187 Copyright: June 2005 In this coming-of-age story, Curtis “CJ” Houston, an intrepid, twenty-something, junior high school teacher, is rolling through life (and through as many women as he can find) without a care in the world. His callous and potentially destructive pattern of behavior is painfully obvious to everyone, except him. There appears to be no end to his naivete, until he meets Stacy Gaither, a beautiful thirty-something professional, on a New York City subway. Little does he know that during the course of the year, he will fall desperately in love, suffer his first significant heartbreak and discover the inner-self he never knew. But when faced with adversity of the highest order, will he respond as the mature man he is becoming or cower in the face of it?

A True Love Story
This is the third book I have read by this author and he's tremendously talented. This book is a true love story and interesting in that the main characters are not the whole story. There is so much in this work that it could've easily been two or even three books. It is very funny and gives you a look into the mind of young men and how they REALLY think, but they do grow up.


Heart-Breaking Truth
Marvin Curtis Reid is the best storyteller I have ever read. He draws you in by simply telling compelling stories of human error, frailty, and courage. Things that we all can relate to in some way. I hope the author reads this review and knows that your talent and skill will affect the human race. This story will stir in your soul and have you consider your unspoken words.
