Do unto others is the story of zena, who open her and husband's house to a beatiful africa girl Ifa, who's in need of housing. She does this even with warning's from her best friend Vy that Ifa was up to know good. I throught the book was good.

I liked it.

Even though this book is receiving less acclaim than I expected, the book was a little better than I expected. Ifa, that African girl, made me angry with her superiority. I think the author has only reflected upon her realities perhaps. So of course not all African people are arrogant. But in my own experience, alot of Africans have had arrogant attitudes. And I can see how Africans in general think Black Americans are lazy. Which is true to a certain extent.

Zena (short for Zenobia) Lawson honors all things African--art, culture, history. So when fortune hands her a twenty-year-old Nigerian girl in need of temporary housing, of course Zena and her husband Lucius jump at the chance to help. To Zena, Ifa Olongo is an exotic beauty with enough haughtiness and grace for three royal families. Not to mention the daughter she never had. But as Zena's best friend Vy keeps reminding her, Ifa is no girl--she's a young woman with dangerous curves that any man would just love to skid his tires across.

But Zena, a former glamour queen herself, has problems distinguishing between glitter and real gold. For Ifa's name means life--and she'll acquire it . . . by any means necessary.

The ever-widening gap between Africans and African-Americans--and the strong but precarious link that bridges it . . . The unexpected peril of romanticizing our roots--and the foreigners who represent them . . . The importance of taking care of others--without sacrificing oneself . . . Kristin Hunter Lattany weaves these elements into a novel crackling with wit, intelligence, and mischief, and takes political correctness and Afrocentricity and turns them upside down.
