When Anthony "Ant" Poole, a young auto mechanic with a creative approach to the mating game, trots out his latest pick-up line with Sharon Francis, he turns her life upside-down. Would she actually be getting a piece of him, or just a piece period? What does a piece of yourself mean, anyway? Is Ant at all interested in something spiritual and emotional? The more Sharron contemplates the line, the more it confounds her.

In his three previous novels, Omar Tyree delved into such contemporary issues as absentee fathers, single parenthood and the pressures of urban life. Now in SWEET ST.
