Tiffany Sly Lives Here Now

De: Dana L. Davis

Narrado por: Dana L. Davis

“I’ve got seven days to come clean to my new dad. Seven days to tell the truth…”

For sixteen-year-old Tiffany Sly, life hasn’t been safe or normal for a while. Losing her mom to cancer has her a little bit traumatized and now she has to leave her hometown of Chicago to live with the biological dad she’s never known.

Anthony Stone is a rich man with four other daughters—and rules for every second of the day. Tiffany tries to make the best of things, but she doesn’t fit into her new luxurious, but super-strict, home—or get along with her standoffish sister London. The only thing that makes her new life even remotely bearable is the strange boy across the street. Marcus McKinney has had his own experiences with death, and the unexpected friendship that blossoms between them is the only thing that makes her feel grounded.

But Tiffany has a secret. Another man claims he’s Tiffany’s real dad—and she has only seven days before he shows up to demand a paternity test and the truth comes out. With her life about to fall apart all over again, Tiffany finds herself discovering unexpected truths about her father, her mother and herself, and realizing that maybe family is in the bonds you make—and that life means sometimes taking risks.

Wonderful

Wonderful Book and New Author

This book was really, really good. It was not what I expected! I usually don't enjoy book narrated by the author, but she was excellent!! I look forward to other books by this author. I am going to buy this book to give to my 15 year old granddaughter. I know she will enjoy it. It's real life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book

It was an easy listen and made me not want to stop until it was over.

6 Stars If I Could. *Must Read*!!!!!

This was definitely a story the drew my attention. Finished in a day. The universe definitely drew me to the book at this moment. I am my destiny. I am my future. I am my own God. Love it!!!

Awesome listen!!

I usually shy away from author-narrated books. They tend to not be good. This listen was very happily and surprisingly, not the case. It was excellently well narrated!! Kudos to the author for penning the story and bringing Tiffany Sly to life. Loved it!!

The story was pretty straight-forward. Tiffany's mom dies and she's sent to live with her father who she has never met. Good times, amirite? Tiffany's struggles are atypical and that's what brings the special in this story.

The only issue I have is with a couple of story lines, all of them involving Aric with an "a", that seemingly were brought up but never went anywhere. (I found myself waiting to see what happened but nothing did.) Still, that's just me being picky because on all other levels, this story soars. Loved it!!!

Heart wrenching!

This book was thought provoking. It made me laugh and cry. I definitely recommend it!

Yes and no

The author combines weaves her own experiences into this story. There's an openess and vulnerability I really appreciated. I also valued the insight into the struggles of young black women... especially those with darker skin. As an educator, I felt I was given a peek into a complex world and perspectives I've never seen. The story is raw and I found myself crying at times. But I didn't appreciate the push of New Age religion. This wasn't a mention in passing, but a push of the ideologies that morality is subjective (please explain how pedophilia and rape isn't good or bad... I'll wait) and each person is god. I'm not interested in being converted any more than Tiffany wanted to be converted to a Jehovah's Witness so it felt pretty hypocritical that the author would be shoving her religious beliefs to her audience. Parents should also be aware of adult content. lots of language and sexual content. As an adult, it didn't bother me, but I would not allow my teenager to read this. Without the push of her religion I would have given this book 5 stars, but it was such a turn off, I give it 3.
