Mel caught his balance as he missed kicking the blind man, who sat listening faithfully to the street corner men singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in acappela. As far as he was concerned dreaming and rainbows hadn't done a damn thing for him. Hard work and determination were the method behind his success. In the haste to find Ann, he had lost sight of place and time, or rather in his haste to cancel the rainbow song from his ears. But for Mel, the rainbow song wouldn't be all he'd have to contend with. Self-betrayal, a lack of intimacy, and infidelity would be the hallmark of his road to self discovery.

Broken Rainbow blends, elements of human drama and African American themes into descriptive character studies. By framing the narrative around settings, conversations, and with character inner thoughts, the reader is challenged to question his own place and responsibility in society and to himself!
