Controversy continues between the races, between police and suspects, and Karen Ford offers her down home thoughts in “Thoughts of a Fried Chicken Watermelon Woman.”

Thoughts of a Fried Chicken Watermelon Woman

"This is straight-up Karen Ford: whiskey with no chaser, as she puts it. -- Kim Scipes"

This book is one Black woman’s thoughts on issues of the day. Black men in academia like Dr. Cornel West or activists like Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson, Jr. are often asked about the Black community and how the Black community views issues like the Stand Your Ground laws. None of those gentlemen speaks for her or others she knows in her community. So she wrote this book to offer a more realistic view on issues like Stand Your Ground laws, the prison industrial complex and others. Some of these are controversial. Some are reflective and still others are personal. They are written to spur conversation, inspire thought and hopefully lead to action.
