Overview

"Reality Check is a short novel that lays a foundation to conversation around interracial relationships. The focus on race does not exclude colorism, classism and stereotypes. As the book explores emotions around relationships through sexual desire and fantasy, Reality Check leaves the reader in a state of introspection. Love, lust, lies and deceit are all human emotion and the writer has dropped small breadcrumbs that lead to the subtitled question, Does Race Define A Relationship? As the book weaves through the lives of each character, there are between-the-lines metaphors to the extension of thought processes as we navigate all types of relationships. Finding love, finding a ""level playing ground"" and finding out who you are can be comical or an extremely deep and dark experience. It is evident through Reality Check that we all have very similar experiences. As we struggle through this thing called life, discovering what motivates us to find love is a personal choice that may or may not include racially motivated actions."

Author Information

"Valerie C. Eaton is a mother of three living in New York. Her writing style is pulled from past present, future and imaginary experiences. She strives to let her light shine and bring out the best in anyone she touches. Working in the technology field, advocating for Black and brown people and managing her daughter's art career has not afforded her the opportunity to write as much as she would like but in the twilight of her years (she states this knowing we are not promised tomorrow so ""twilight"" is relative), she wants to make sure that whatever work is left behind leaves a smile on someone's face. This is the first of what she hopes to be many novels."
