An estimated 40-50 ladies will arrive, each with a "fab" pair of red shoes on and will not only receive a copy of Marian's new book,  My Father's Colors-The Drama-Filled Journey of Naya Monà  Continues, but also a fabulous 3-course seated dinner. "The evening will be filled with a night of  live entertainment provided by R&B Artist, Jason Pure, games and lots of red shoe Fun", states the author. The theme for this event— red shoes, is inspired by the pair of red shoes seen on the cover of My Father's Colors.  

My Father's Colors is a second release for the author. Her debut title, Color Me Jazzmyne reached #1  in the Rhythm & Blues category on Amazon.com Best-Seller list . It was also awarded as being one of the "Top 100 Books" by Sankofa Literary Society Review and was nominated for the "2010 Book of the Year" by AAMBC.

Similar in nature to the heart of Color Me Jazzmyne, My Father's Colors is both contemporary fiction and  literary entertainment that focusing on character and plot development. It is also poetic and derives its inspiration from the real life experiences that many woman and children of abuse continue to face. It is emotional, captivating and sparked with the elements of reality to make a true reader connection.
