Frankie Lennon can weave stories better that create a tapestry of enjoyment. Each tale is special in it's own right and draws the reader in with her easy to read style and flair for painting a clear picture of time, people, situation, and emotions. Frankie is one of the authors who commands attention from the first sentence of a paragraph.

Overview
The Mee St. Chronicles: Straight Up Stories of a Black Woman's Life is the extraordinarily candid memoir of Frankie Lennon's battle to claim her own life and sexual identity. Beginning with vivid stories of growing up in segregated Knoxville, Tennessee of the 1950's, we are propelled into her struggle to find freedom from the many prisons and conflicts that bind her. From Jim Crow segregation, to her hidden same sex attraction, to her eventual battle with alcoholism, we witness her turbulent life journey through page-turning stories that speak truth, no matter what, to everyone.
