Jazsmin

Jazsmin Walters is an attractive 26 year-old single, black woman. She is charming, well spoken and has no qualms when it comes to saying what is on her mind. As a little girl, she watched and listened to everything her father, not only said, but also did, wherein her mother was concerned. After years of what she deemed, could only be disrespect, she came to the conclusion that no man would ever disrespect, neglect, stress or abuse her, and to make sure that it never happened, she decided, at an early age, that she was never getting married. But, as that old saying goes, "Time heals all wounds."

A two-time finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, Diane Johnson has drawn comparisons to Jane Austen and Edith Wharton with her comedies of manners about Americans living and loving abroad.
