New Book Asks: Are Religious Beliefs Keeping Black Women Single?

Author Raykel Tolson Challenges African-American Women in Her Latest Novella.

Los Angeles, CA, August 16, 2018 --(PR.com)-- A contemporary Christian author is posing a tough
question to single African-American women. Can you love and marry a bi-sexual man? That hot topic is
the basis of Raykel Tolson's latest novella titled "Undefiled," to be released August 31, 2018.

“Many Black women who are raised in the church have strongly held beliefs on sexuality. The question I
am posing to my readers is, 'Are those beliefs keeping us from love,'” asks Tolson.

In "Undefiled," Liz has found love again. Her fiancé, Anthony, is a member of her church, successful,
good looking and the couple is deeply in love. Liz considers him the perfect man for her, but the night
before their wedding she learns that one of his past lovers is a man. Anthony admits that he is bi-sexual
but assures Liz that he loves her and is prepared to be faithfully married to her. Can Liz forgive him for
keeping such a big secret? Can she trust that Anthony will be sexually satisfied with her? Can she still
love him knowing his past? Or will Liz call off the wedding?

“I am not here to judge. In fact, I want my readers to challenge their belief that God is judgmental and
will punish them for being different,” says the novelist. "As a Christian, my goal is to give people room to
consider a different point of view that might free them up to live the life they dream about having," says
Tolson.

The 40-something year old novelist, lawyer and mother, has one adult son. She was raised in a suburb of
St, Louis, but has lived and worked in Los Angeles for more than a decade. In 2014 she made the choice
to focus on writing professionally and published her first novel, "Single and Saved."

“I have a vivid imagination, so there are hundreds of stories that I want to tell,” she says. “Some of my
book ideas are based off conversations I've had with friends and family. Other times I literally dream of a
character and know I must get their story written.”

The novella is currently available for pre-sale. For more information on the author and her books, visit
