TELL IT LIKE IT IS... Cari Pompey thought she'd be seeing her superstar NBA husband Nate in divorce court, not on trial for the brutal murder of a scandalous Hollywood starlet. As much as Cari hates Nate's womanizing and callus disregard for their marriage vows, she's certain he's not capable of murder and sets out to prove it. But Cari finds there's a lot she doesn't know -- particularly about Nate, specifically about murder, and especially about those willing to murder for sport!

A Few Literary Reviews
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Linda Dominique Grosvenor, Author of The Hamptons, Bloom, Like Boogie on Tuesday, and Fever gives "YOU BECKON" 5 STARS!
November 10, 2003
Being a poet at heart I must highly recommend You Beckon by Peggy Eldridge-Love. They say poetry is subjective but I beg to differ, "First Fruits: A Wedding Lullaby," "Cold Fever," "Wall Flower" and "Go" (a simple yet urgent plea) just to name a few herald the love and appreciation of this collection. Peggy has a sweet way with words that carress you as you read like waves on an ocean vacation. I love the memories as if they were my own. I look forward to reading additional volumes of poetry from this wordsmith. You've gotta get a copy. This is a must for every collection.
(Reviewer Cynthia Moore of CMO Productions ... March 2003)
Peggy Eldridge-Love has MASTERED the art of word efficiency as evident in many of the poems in her collection, YOU BECKON. The poem "Go" is a prime example of her unmatchable ability to say so much with so few words. Not only is there much to be learned from this collection about the craft of writing poetry, there is also a lot to FEEL, to PONDER, and to ENJOY. YOU BECKON is a must read for those who enjoy the art of good writing as well as the thrill of pendulous emotions.
A FEW MORE REVIEWS of YOU BECKON!
" You Beckon" By Peggy Eldridge Love, is a collection of voices: A young girl, an old man, a worried wife, a soldier, a cosmopolitan and a lover as well as many others. All within the pages of this fine collection of poetry Eldridge Love handles many characters and gives them clarity and dignity that is rare in voices. The poems work because the reader can connect with them and relate, living vicariously through their losses and victories. The majority of Eldrdge Love poems succeed because they evoke a satisfying emotional response. It is one thing to write a well crafted poem that follows the rules of poetry, another to make a poem that touches the soul. from " Repertoire" I gave up wanting long ago Believing that i bargained away all hope of arms that might hold eyes that could see ears that wanted to hear the repertoire of my soul. Eldridge Love's poems are direct enough to draw the reader in. Complicated enough to hold the their interest. Love sports a fiskle intellect. But she doesn't put herself on a pedestal. She wants you to come into her world of words, which are often deep, always provocative and razor sharp in their brevity. Her family poem's " My Father" are snap shots of a Black girls life in Kansas who describes herself as a "hick", but don't be fooled by Eldridge Love's modesty. These poems are the documentation of a creative force at work.

I feel fortunate to have been recently introduced to the poetry of Peggy Eldridge-Love. Her work does not provide easy, comfortable reading, but rather familar places, people and memories that figuratively beckon the reader to take a closer look at the tender ache that may wait beneath the surface of the ordinary. Through Eldridge's artistry, common contemporary scenes and themes of our shared recent history take on a new dimension. Her collection is filled with timeless peices that you'll want to read and read again.
M. LaVora Perry, Author of "Taneesha's Treasures of the Heart"
Ms. Peggy Eldridge-Love's lyrical masterpiece "You Beckon" is a witty, passionate creation that can hold its own among the Angelou's and Giovanni's. Taking everyday emotions and situations Peggy breathes life into the art of poetry with wisdom and beauty, speaking on subjects everyone from all walks of life can relate to. With a unique spin on the ordinary she shares her life's lessons in a "bare all" fashion, allowing readers a look at the woman within the writer.
