Don't Want To Fight No More

Life will always be as tough for Alice Class as the South Bronx neighborhood she was born in. But that doesn't mean she'll ever give up.

Alice, the daughter of a bipolar Cuban father and a mother who didn't know how to handle her husband's mood swings, finds herself lacking a true understanding of just what love is. All she knows is that she has to hold stuff deep inside because discussing family issues is considered betrayal. All she can do is keep fighting.

She gets her chance to succeed when she's admitted to a Bronx college. She loses her virginity, celebrates her freedom, and experiences ups and downs when she runs a college radio station. When she graduates, she falls in love and gets married.

Throughout it all, she'll experience a fight-or-flight feeling, an urgency telling her to run or give up. This sense gets stronger when her sister Enid suffers a chronic illness and Alice battles to discover what's really important to her in life. But no matter what's thrown at her, she keeps fighting.

Kiki Loyal gives readers a glimpse into one person's struggles and resolve in the inspiring tale Don't Want to Fight No More.
