Excerpt from Betsy's Literary
Page Review
"The author brilliantly uses simplistic views and emotions of
children to expose "our" prejudices, bigotries, and unfounded apprehensions
based on lack of knowledge and understanding of cultural, racial, physical, and
psychological differences.
I applaud you Ms. Milner, this novel;
"Children of Plains Estates" could easily be viewed as the poster child for
diversity training. It causes one to reflect on what individual adjustments can
be made to ensure peaceful harmony in the face of diversity."
In her
first novel Ms. Milner tackles racism, alcoholism, spouse abuse, the educational
system, the role of the church, interracial dating, child molestation, AIDS, and
other issues facing today's youth.
In her upcoming book new characters
will move into Plains Estates. For the first time an African American writer
will confront the racial divide between the Hispanic community and mainstream
America, pedophilia in the Catholic Church, the Holocaust, and the affects of
the economy on this close knit community.
Ms. Milner is available for
speaking engagements and book
signings.
