Sequel to "Make Lemonade." "We will rise to the occasion, which is life." This is the mantra of La Vaughn's teacher in her grammar tutorial group. La Vaughn is facing many challenges as she works to rise to the occasion and someday escape the crime and depression of her low-income neighborhood. But when Jody, a former classmate, moves back to La VAughn's apartment building, more handsome than she remembers, the goal of college seems a lot more remote than going with Jody to a school dance and getting kissed. Audio review: Narrated by Heather Alicia Sims. Ms Sims gives perfect voice to La Vaughn as a thoughtful, intelligent and determined teenaged girl striving to overcome setbacks and succeed in what she believes. I read the first book in this trilogy as a library school student in a young adult literature class. At first I couldn't place where I recognized the characters from but as I continued to read I remembered LeVann and eventually Jolly and her two children. I really enjoyed this book. I felt so proud listening to Levonn better herself. She was so impressive dealing with all the things around her. Sometimes I felt like her mother was overly tough on her, but then other times I could see how easy it would be to slip and totally understood why she as so tough on Levonn.
