FINALLY, REAL BROTHERS WITH REAL PROBLEMS!

* Terence "Bootstrapper" Davidson needs unconditional love and dependable Financial Aid * Brandon "Choirboy" Bailey needs the courage to break his Black Female Shortage and pursue Monica, the woman of his dreams * Larry "Smooth Operator" Whitaker has everything he wants and nothing he needs * O.J. "Sinister Minister" Peters needs to match his walk to his talk

Seniors at historically black Highland University in urban Washington D.C., Terence, Brandon, Larry, and O.J. are as different as four "brothers" can be. That doesn't stop them from uniting to save a struggling children's community center before it goes under. Their mission is threatened when a trio of urban villains takes them on, stirring up distractions that take their eyes off the community center's struggle and put them in harm's way. Will they crack under the pressure or be forged into a solid whole?

With his debut novel, C. Kelly Robinson depicts the diversity of the young African-American male with a tale of suspense, romance, and humor. Not All Dogs moves beyond simple labels and opens a revealing window to the black male soul.
