Observing the world out of the front window of her Palmer Park apartment has become Lauren's past time. She once loved her neighborhood with the green grass, beautiful trees and the serene park environment that brought her joy. Now it's filled with pain, sorrow, self-destruction and dysfunctional behaviors from her rainbow family to the heterosexuals. Why does everyone take things to the extreme just to be noticed? The things she sees and hears slowly consumes her. Lauren finds herself looking for a way out after her lover Darlene accuses her of not being capable of falling in love or loving anyone but Lauren's daughter Megan and even that is questionable. Lauren is a lesbian with swag who doesn't take shit from anyone and could care less about what people think of her. But Darlene's accusations pierce Lauren's soul. Without Darlene knowing, Lauren searches for answers by trying self-therapy and reminisces about her abusive childhood to the listening ears of Annie her upstairs neighbor. Meanwhile, her close friends Kim and people Lauren has met through Darlene began to reveal secrets about Lauren's relationships with her lover that sends her into a rage. What goes around comes around she believes as she goes down a self-destructive path of her own. Lauren gets revenge in her own way...and boy does she.

When I started reading "A Tear From a Black Rainbow" it was easy reading, but a little hard to read because it was so real. A world that I knew existed, but couldn't imagine knowing anyone living that life, but Lesa puts you right in it. Working daily with the Author, I would never have known her life long struggles. Lesa's writing style is captivating and her story is well written with an very interesting twist that makes her story a winner. I am still in awwwwwww. Go Lesa!!! What's next?
