What People Are Saying About

Love Addicted!

What a beautifully honest and inspiring account of an addict's journey. DeBora has done a great service to humanity. Now, all that is needed is to get her and her book on Oprah!

-Charlie Dorsey

First things first. You are an awesome woman with an awesome message. I thank God for you. Your book had an impact on me that I just can't put into words. I do know that I am on a better path now, and that is why I had to share it with the residents at the lodge.

-Tracie Jiggetts, My Sister's Place Lodge

Love Addicted is a book every woman should read, regardless of race, color or age. DeBora's experiences translate to our own. She writes with convictioni and humor about a subject near and dear to us all from our teens to our tottering years. We never give up hope of finding love and affection and DeBora's journey toward maturity is one we can all learn from.
-Antonia Villi Miner, former Public Relations Director, Good Housekeeping Magazine

I am so pleased to share with you the feedback that I received from my clients when I read an excerpt from your book. Some of my clients have been in the welfare system for more than 10 years as mothers and now as grandmothers, still depending on aid. After reading the excerpt, I asked one simple question, "Where is this person today?" Both women and men were stunned that you could still move forward in your life and become a successful writer, attorney and speaker. I encourage you to continue to share your work with the world. Thanks for the gift.

-Cassandra Nwosu, Director, Welfare to Work Program

I stumbled on this book at a poetry reading and had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Ricks there. Her book spoke to me so personally (even down to the 6 year relationship that went no where)and helped me to walk away from my addiction to men and focus on ME! The book also names other important reads, quotes, and people to get additional assistance from.
-Soulful Sistah "Never Wasting the Pretty"

There is so much I want to tell you I just don't know how to adequately express my thoughts in words. I finally got around to reading you book and I have to tell you I finished it in two days! I couldn't put it down. This book is really a great prototype for understanding the psychology of the modern day Black woman. I am so glad that you were able to articulate your thoughts so clearly because in reading Love Addicted I now have greater reverence for the humanity of Black women.
-Randy, 25 year old Black man

Get the book! I am being blessed tremendously by this book. It's like a good meal at a friend's house, I don't want it to end. I read the words and it's like having a sister right in the room with you just giving it to you straight. I love it! I am enjoying the journey and looking forward to the next one!
