Hi Mr. Tyree! I am a 16 yr highschool student and I love your books. What's mostly appealing to me is the content and the many different things that can be learned from your books, they have great value. I ordered a couple of your books off of Amazon.com after reading the first few pages available online and I knew that my money was put into good use after I read the books. The first book I read was "Leslie" because I am a Haitian girl myself. Loved it! I love how real your books are and they've really helped me think about controlling my life well so that I do not fall into terrible situations. Your books helped me focus more on my education, family and managing things and having confidence and determination. Yes, it seems like a lot but when I read about these characters it really leads me into questioning what's valuable in life and what would be some of the best choices for me. So far I've read Lesie, Flyy girl, For the Love of Money, A Do Right Man and I'm currently reading Single Mom. I'm going to college in a year or so and I was really interested in getting an MBA in Finance... reading Single Mom has helped me really stay firm on my choice because I love working with money, managing money, ever since I was in elementary school when I started selling candy just to save up on money I knew that that was my passion (besides music)... All in all I just want to thank you and tell you that I admire what you do and what you write. A lot of girls my age are reading other books with a lot of sexual content.. . well too much sexual content, and while your books do have a couple scenes here and there... that's all it really is... just a couple scenes here and there because life does have variety but that's not your overall main point of the book and I love that. You books actually teaches a lot of important and valuable things that could help others in their everyday life. I felt that I've said enough...God bless you, Mr. Tyree!!
