The chances of a black woman finding a single, 33 – 39-year-old, heterosexual, college educated, successful African American male in a 1 percent population is about .16 percent. The 1 percent includes those men in cities and their surrounding suburbs with large urban populations, such as Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., New York, Oakland, and Detroit.
Essence magazine’s advice columnist, Gwen Grant, stated in
Savannah Morning News, 2002, that educated black women should expand their selection to dating outside their race. If not, they will continue to have limited options.
The most extraordinary statistic is that only 22 percent of an African American woman’s life span will be spent in marriage.
Won’t Be Denied, a 227-page novel, shines a light into an obsessed, single African American female. In well-crafted suspense novel, author C.F. Jackson, graduate from Georgia Southern University with a BS degree in Criminal Justice, lays out story in two sentences: Love won’t be denied. Maré comes to value it more than life. The story is set in Atlanta, Georgia. It is an easy, suspenseful read. The character-driven plot is a page-turner.
