Annie Mae Jenkins is a 16-year-old high school dropout living in a housing project with her mother and four brothers. They live outside of Wison North Carolina in a small town called Goldsboro North Carolina. Her brothers are 18-year-old Eddie Bee, 12-year-old Danny, 8-year-old Tobey, and 7-year-old Lamont. Their mother, Sally Jenkins was 35 years old when their father Ronnie Jenkins left to pick up dinner one evening and never returned five years ago, now their children would pay the price. Annie Mae is the third in a series of novels by Wynetta Gillespie. The backdrop of this novel like the others is centered on a fragile family structure with all of the trappings of a public housing project. Through the pen of the author, you will meet a young girl, a 16-year-old high school dropout and her Gangsta brother, both trapped in a reality ruled by chaos. An eerie relationship of sadness, sorrow, and joy is projected by the author as she introduces you to their family, friends, and peers. The question that will emerge after reading this lifestyle novel is whether this is a work of fiction or is it reality cloaked in fiction. The author weaves a tale of poverty, passion, lust, suspense, and family tragedy. Whether this is a work of fiction or reality there are many lessons to be learned. In the venue of her companion books, "A Horrible Tale of Karma" and "Mary Jane," the saga of "Annie Mae" highlights and adds another chapter and dimension to the relationship between life, karma, and chaos.
