Far From Home
Far From Home is part 2 of The Chambers Family Trilogy, the debut fiction series from Toni Chevelle, in which generational curses and deceptions meet power & breakthrough.
Tessica Scott has one goal when she makes it to her senior year: to get as far away from the projects, and especially her mother, as she possibly can. Her hard-knock life and a particularly harrowing turn of events leaves her broken and discouraged; only with the support of her besties, Nina and Aimee; their boyfriends, Dedrick and Taye; and the love of her life, Gabriel, can she manage to escape her mother’s grasp. She’s now on a fast-track to greatness; to continue on that path, however, requires healing from the past, and that includes some revelations and some secrets uncovered…

This debut compilation is a life-long collection of thoughts, dreams, experiences, and wishes. Begun in the sophomore year of high school, some 30+ years ago, these pieces of prose and poetry delve into the mind of Toni Chevelle. Some witty, some deep, some challenging, some thought-provoking, some spiritual, and even some corny, the poems contained here give you a glimpse of the woman and her life. |
Til' Death: Lessons from Life, Love, & "I Do"
“Til Death: Lessons From Life, Love, & I DO” is the cathartic catalog of my life experience as it relates to love and relationships, and the sometimes enigmatic roller coaster known as marriage. It is my hope and prayer that what is shared will help current and future wives find their best selves and be the wives that the Most High intended them to be. “I Am Fighting For My Healing, And I Ain’t Gonna Fight Fair.” |
Reader Reviews
"I wholeheartedly believe that when you have a talent, all it takes is a bit of hard work to get it seen. It's amazing that these poems throughout the years of Ms. Chevelle's life have seemed to age gracefully and still, somehow, are conveyed as a piece of literature to so new. Be ready to feel different types of emotions as Ms. Toni Chevelle has the ability to capture you in each word she writes!"
- Zoe Dee (Manna, Mirror, Mosaics)
"I hate I took so long to place my first order. I'm all up in this Kindle, reading your poetic works of art. I must say, you titled this collection perfectly!" - Margaret Blair (Manna, Mirror, Mosaics)
