Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- Diane Dorce's fast-paced, new novel, "52 Broad Street," seeks to grab the attention of the 18 to 20 something and older crowd. This is not your die-hard street fiction, nor a watered down version of the aforementioned. "52 Broad Street" is more than a book, it's a message, its movement for our young ladies and young men to wake up.

Author Diane Dorce´ is no stranger to controversy or relative issues concerning African-American's in America. Her first book, Loving Penny, delved into unforeseen territory, Childhood Obesity, years before America was alerted to this rising problem, and before children were being diagnosed with Type III Diabetes.

Diane's books are entertaining, educational, and informative yet she doesn't hold her tongue or pen when lashing out at big business, governments or the Health Field, as she did in her second book, Devil in the Mist. Devil in the Mist took a page out of everyday headlines, dealing with government conspiracies, a virus that closely resembled AIDS and big business like we have never heard of. The highly touted book remains in high demand.

"When I started to write "52 Broad Street", I was mainly upset with how young women were disrespecting themselves, and allowing others to disrespect them. This is the discussion we are having today, about respect, about the B-word, about the videos and music industry, about the Don Imus incident."

Diane paints a very real picture of three young women, searching for themselves, but believing that what they seek lies in the arm of a man, not just any man, a Baller.

"This is my story; it's many of our stories. Someone once asked me how could I write about this material, if I never experienced it¨ she laughs, "what they are doing today, chasing Ballers, I did in the 80's, the only thing that's changed is the loss of respect for all women and that's something I'd like to see change."

"52 Broad Street" touches on unprotected sex, AIDS, pregnancy, unwed mothers, drugs and violence: a hodgepodge of societal ills. With her talented pen, the author is able to present the material in the format that our young people understand, giving them facts, embedded in fiction, real truths to learn from, without being preachy. The book's official release date is November 10th, 2007.
