SYNOPSIS- For Time Will Reveal series

This self empowerment, coming of age story is told in a manner which is both entertaining and informative. The Time Will Reveal series uses the relationship between Ebony Brown [baby girl] and Anthony Jackson [Ajay], a teenage African American couple growing up in the tumultuous underworld of Cleveland Ohio with their crew, to give it a familiar feel and lock you in. Starting in the late 1980's, Time To Learn’s main focus is on the strength and survival of several families drawn together 2 generations ago through their migration from the south to escape the racism and bigotry of the white citizens council during the civil rights movement.

As Ebony’s dreams of a fairytale romance start to consume her, she is sent to Houston Texas to live with her grandmother. While there she learns many phases of life. Her grandparents teach and show her lessons in a way, very different then her mother and father had been able to convey to her. Lessons which she will resonate for the rest of her life. Like self pride and respect, how a man should treat her and how she is to respect and treat her man. She learns some of the unfortunate sides of relationships, loyalty and growing up as well. And so does her girlfriends and her crew.

But what brings forth the end of her Houston stay is when she goes through a life changing ordeal which will bring her family and crew together in ways reminiscent of the olden days, when they had to remove certain stumbling blocks in order to progress. Their loyalty for each other is overwhelming to others. The unconditional love which comes from it, not only teaches her how precious life and true love are but also the dues which were paid by her ancestors to afford her generation it’s freedoms. She knows now that both good and bad things happen to good people. But with commitment and a sound foundation you can prevail.

This series about Ebony, Anthony and their crew takes you from the mischievous adolescent stages [Time To Learn part 1 and Time To Grow part 2]into productive adulthood [Time To Love part 3 and Time To Know part 4] and eventually to being parents themselves[Time To Feel part 5 and Time To Show part 6], where they have to set examples for their own children. The examples that were taught to them by their parents and grandparents are to marry for life, persevere through whatever trials you face and build upon what was achieved by the last generation.

Time Will Reveal captures your interest from the onset with the mystery surrounding Anthony [Ajay] and his player ways cast against Ebony’s innocence which makes for a provocative tale.

Take the journey into this series by Black Coffee and become engaged in the Suspense, Drama, Romance and intrigue of this Cleveland crew. They will hold you captive as you read on to see if they can overcome the temptations of street live to become successful entrepreneurs despite the obstacles they face.

This is an ongoing saga which while the characters and their interactions are fictitious, the story deals with real history in America told from the point of view of this Cleveland Clan.

Sincerely,

Black Coffee
