Diamond’s Pearl

Diamond’s Pearl is D M Cummings’ blunt but urban epic starring Diamond, a girl whose life is turned inside out because of her mother’s austere rules and the fact that she felt like the black sheep of the family.
Her older sister and younger brother were very aloof when it came to Diamond and she hadn’t seen her father since she was a youth.
This led to her becoming promiscuous, looking for love in all the wrong places which landed her with a child to whom the father was unknown.
