Carleen Brice

Orange Mint and Honey
"The marriage of historical confidence with creativity brings forth the first novel by Carleen Brice. Orange Mint and Honey makes use of the oldest of relationships: mothers and daughters. Looking at the plights of love, forgiveness, understanding and redemption brings to this first novel a fresh and unique feel. A wonderful jazzy exciting read." -- Nikki Giovanni

Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number: Black Women Explore Midlife
"As rich and satisfying as a warm dish of peach cobbler."

"Reading this medley of wisdom, laughter, reflection and love is wonderfully satisfying."

"Age Ain't Nothing But a Number is an engaging collection of essays, poems and personal memoirs, all of which direct us to and through middle age in encouraging and positive ways. Rather than support the unhealthy and negative attitudes toward age which are so common, Carleen Brice points us toward embracing the richness of who we are, and who we are becoming. This is a much needed collection, providing affirmation of womanhood and teaching us that contrary to the negative programming of our culture of youth, there is life after thirty that is valuable, meaningful, and even fun." — Johnetta B. Cole, President emerita at Spelman College, Professor emerita at Emory University, and current President of Bennett College
