• Grasshopper
  Grasshopper is an unforgettable, darkly humorous, fairly disturbing literary journey rooted in family conspiracies, murder and revenge. Based on true events, Grasshopper is a compelling catalyst for self-examination that will leave the reader contemplating the value of self and the beauty in being different in a society fearful of diversity. Erika explores generations of a African American family in a fresh, mercilessly honest way. Grasshopper will have you under its spell from the first page until the last page when all you can say is, "Wow".
