A 'Dark and Dazzling' Tribute to Love and Life A celebration of the exotic and the erotic, B.A.D. Sisters Diary: Beautiful and Dark Sisters collects nearly two-dozen pieces of short prose and poetry from author Adetoye 'Olu McValiant. Here are penetrating insights into love, sex, gender relations, violence and spirituality. From the woman physically rejoicing in her lover's first kiss, to the man whose aching need cries out for release, the subjects are at once heart-wrenching and unflinchingly authentic. Through it all is a reverence for the beauty of blackness - for the woman who is as "dark and dazzling" as she wants to be. But McValiant shows a strong empathy for the human condition in all its forms as he casts his eye on contemporary issues of war, peace, and religion, all the while capturing the music and the weight of words.
