Milk in My Coffee (PB) (2000)

Jordan Greene is in culture shock when he arrives in Manhattan from his Tennessee hometown. Still, he manages to keep the pace and stay in the race, with a Wall Street job, a Queens apartment, and a very sexy girlfriend named J'nette.

But when Jordan meets Kimberly Chavers, what starts as a shared cab ride turns into something more. This girl is funny, fiesty, fine...and white. And for a man with Malcolm X's picture hanging on his office wall, that's a definite problem....

This brightly entertaining and emotionally complex novel demonstrates why Eric Jerome Dickey was "one of the most successful Black authors of the last quarter-century" (The New York Times).
