BOOK REVIEWS--------------------------------According to recent news reports, African Americans have the lowest marriage rate of any racial group in this country. Forty-three percent of black men and about 42 percent of black women have never been married. More than 70 percent of black children are now born to single mothers. From Bill Cosby to Tyler Perry to President Obama, the black community has faced strong criticism for its instability in relationships.It is into this social arena that Denver author Ifiok Etuk offers A Romance Truth, a unique guidebook that attempts to make real for his readers what works and, more importantly, what doesnt in the modern day quest for a fulfilling and lasting love. While the advice is universal, he is clearly speaking to a young, black audience.Though a quick read, A Romance Truth packs a lot of thoughtful guidance into its 77 pages. Etuk explores the minefield of hope and dashed expectations through three fictional relationships.Etuk does a good job of giving enough detail to their lives to hold interest.
