According to the Chrysalis BREW Project, “Rona D. Drinkard has written women’s fiction but an honest description of the female experience of African-American women. The voice of these women is still sorely underrepresented in literature, and with her book, Rona D. Drinkard makes a great service to all of us.”

Rona D. is the award-winning author of her debut novel, “Friendship Matters.”  She currently resides in Maryland but hails from the city of Buffalo, New York, the setting of this timeless and relatable novel.
