She's Worth Waiting For

By Letisha McKellips 3/22/09

Tasteful and enlightening, "She’s Worth Waiting For" is a captivating book aimed for the teen and pre-teen world. Realistically focused on the sensitive times where choices are vital, you will be able to look into the lives of these young adults and learn as you read this book.

Readers have said “[This book is] a very positive and realistic look into the lives of young adults who attempt to navigate through a very important time in their lives -- Senior Year of High School. Dealing with issues that every young adult comes across in one way or another: friendships, relationships, love, sex, peer pressure, college, communication with parents, etc., the journey of April and Lance is absolutely a must read and hopefully will inspire our young people, particularly girls, to believe that they're "Worth Waiting For". You won't be able to put this book down!!!”

"She’s Worth Waiting For" was recommended by Maurice M. Gray who is a writer, editor, counselor, speaker, and comedian; as a “good Christian book. Self published by Boykins, this good read has even been made into a short film! You can watch this film, produced by Ben Foster Films, on Thursday March 26, 2009 at the Theater North at Nemours 1007 Orange Street in Wilmington, DE. Show time starts at 6:30pm so dress upscale casual and get ready to join the stars on the red carpet! All ages are welcome and tickets are $10. Other films will be featured as well.

Married and residing in Delaware, Tia Marie Boykins is in high spirits as she watches her lifelong dreams become reality. Not only is this Philly native an author and publisher who owns Creativ1 Publishing, she is the founder of Teen Esteem Queens and was the winner of Best Author at the 2008 Delaware Black Awards! Doesn’t that make a statement?

Boykins has, however, received feedback in regards to the sexual content of this book from parents who apparently hasn’t read it in its entirety. Boykins has stated, “That my book is not about abstinence. Instead it speaks to both teens who are choosing to wait for a sexual relationship, as well as those who have not waited, and outlines the circumstances of both situations.”

Like they say don’t judge a book by its cover; I would consider it equal when I say don’t judge a book by reading a few excerpts. This is a good read and can be purchased online and in bookstores everywhere.
