Leslie J. Dorsett is the author of
“Flesh Is Flesh...No Matter Whose Bones It’s On,” a
compelling novel that captures the essence of true friendship between
three African-Americans in their mid thirties. The characters believe that
they could never cross certain
boundaries. They later come to
realize, however, that they are not exempt from transgression; they
realize that Flesh Is Flesh...No Matter Whose Bones It’s On.
According to Dorsett, the theme for the novel, “Flesh Is Flesh...No
Matter Whose Bones It’s On,” comes from an old adage her mother used
to remind her and her siblings why those in high authority fall short of
their moral expectations just the same as next door neighbors.
“My mother always told us, ‘People are just
people, so don’t be
shocked about the teacher who uses drugs or the senator who steals.’
We’re all prone to errors because the flesh is weak, no matter who we
are,”.
Whether it’s hurt, disappointment, joy or happiness, true friends are
there to see you through. And, this holds true for Robert, Tianna and
Gloria, the three characters in the novel.
This mainstream novel is sure
to capture your every emotion from joy and pain, to excitement and
despair. The paperback book mixes elements of suspense, comedy and
romance.
