Reader Reviews

"Christina & Edward, I am so glad you wrote The Story of Christina and I. I enjoyed exploring your life with you.

Thank you for sharing your book" - Nikki Giovanni

"In matters of the heart - in what some term as romance. We need more success stories. More stories about successful partnerships, marriages and co-parentage. We need to tell and hear true stories about where WE are from. I met Christina & Edward Sledge, it was an incredibly dark time. It was a time of the dark parts of the concrete we used to say we loved. We still do love. I met them in a place I have gone thrice since. When we reconnected, this time in success, not grief, they presented to me this book about love. Their love. It is a true NYC story. A Brooklyn Story, A Crown Heights joint. Pick it up. Thank you to all of the roses that grew despite the concrete, and those who have thrived because of it."

- Victorious De Costa, Film Director, Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn
