Some of the Reviews:

Where There's Smoke...

"Ignore the misleading cover. This well-written novel will appeal to every type of reader…would make an excellent book club pick…highly recommended for all urban fiction collections." - Library Journal

"So if you are one of the many people who was extremely disappointed with Sister Souljah's new book please do yourself a favor and get this one. Smoke is the character that many of us dreamed Midnight would be like. I literally read this book in less than 24 hours and I really hope she writes another book soon because it was a great story!" - Amazon.com

"Where There's Smoke has an excellent story line that's fast paced and driven by her witty wordplay. The story is told in the voice of each character adding depth and excellent character development. Each character is believable and readers will not only relate to each character but root for them as they attempt to overcome their pasts and prevent their son from making the same mistakes." - Coast2Coast Readers

"I picked this book up and started reading while I was sick with the flu. In four hours, I was through. I could not put the book down. I have never heard of Terra Little, but from what I have read in this book, she is a very talented writer. Her storyline was not the typical hood fiction I'm use to reading, but it was actually a real life struggle that so many of us have been through, or known someone that has." - Amazon.com

"Don't be misled by the cover, what's between them makes Where There's Smoke a pleasure to read and highly recommended." - Amazon.com

"I actually thought I knew every good author, but I missed this one, sorry to say. This book was a hilarious page turner that I am so glad that I picked up. If you want a book that tells a story of love, betrayal and triump of the human spirit, pick this book up. I dare you to be able to put it down without reading the whole thing! " - Amazon.com

Running from Mercy...

"RUNNING FROM MERCY written by Terra Little is uniquely creative. Abundant are the family ties, romance, as well as suspense, making for a good, quick read. I would definitely recommend this book." - OOSA Online Book Club

"Even after I finished the book I had to flip back through to read my favorite parts several times (my hubby thought that was hilarious). I will definitely add this author to my list of those to watch!" - Amazon.com

"Terra Little has written an engaging novel of family, lies, and secrets, and self-discovery. The characters had natural flaws and the storyline flowed. I found myself needing to turn the next page to find out what was going to happen, and praying what I wanted to happen between the characters would happen!" - Literary Lovers Book Club

"While contemporary in nature, the story of Mercy, GA is reminiscent of the old towns down south where many of us visit our elders every summer. Our roots are engrained in the soil, and our feelings and emotions linger in the air. In RUNNING FROM MERCY, Terra Little captures those emotions and reminds us of those deep secrets that our hearts have endured." - Amazon.com
