Blanche shows you how a black woman gets by in a tough world. Blanche isn't just another pretty face, she's an amateur detective, too.
Although "Nickle and Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenbach isn't a novel, after you read that book, you'll recognize Blanche right away.

Blanche Rules
This is one of the great novels of our time, elevated in my estimation beyond the crime genre. I've been using it in teaching a college course entitled "The Higher Detective." The reason? The creation of the incomparable Blanche White, a formidable middle-aged black woman in the service trade. Blanche is a person of great humanity, perseverance and insight, humble but not too humble, a woman at home in her body, her mind, her community, and not least in the kitchen. Neely is an impressive writer. It's a shame that she has not written another novel since the last of the four Blanche White books some nine years ago.
