About the Author

Review: "DAUGHTER CRY NO MORE by LeTresa Payne is a moving, touching, ultimately exhilarating story about the African-American experience in the 1960s, yet the intriguing story line reaches across time, eras, and race. This author obviously poured her heart and soul into this novel. The result is an honest tale that is enlightening, thought-provoking, and absorbing.
