Patience and Sarah

Patience and Sarah front cover. On a black background and to the bottom right of the image, two women are partially in view. They are both naked. The one on the left is sitting down, her back to the reader at a three-quarter angle toward the left, in a fetal position, her head fully tucked between crossed arms that wrap around her knees. Of the second woman, only part of her torso, right arm and left breast can be seen. She faces the other woman and rests her right hand over her left elbow, arm over the shoulder. The scene is lit from the bottom left, as with a spotlight. Around the women, everything is wrapped in darkness.

Duet in darkness

Duet in Darkness front cover: Two women are displayed in an indoors setting. One of them, a black woman with short, straight black hair, sits on the wooden floor in a white negligee. Her left side faces the reader, and she sits with her left leg bent at the knee and turned outward toward her back, her foot bare. Her left hand is posed on her left calf and has a ring on its ring finger. Her right hand touches the edge of a blue and black cushioned sofa to her right. Her head is turned sharply to her left, and she looks straight out at the reader with a serious expression on her face. In the background, beside her on the sofa, a redhead with straight hair to her shoulder sits, with both legs folded atop the seat, feet facing right of the image. She is wearing a short, denim skirt and a brown, sleeveless blouse with buttons at the front and a V-neck. Her left hand is blocked by the figure who sits on the floor, and her right hand is holding a cigarette, elbow rested on the back of the chair. She is almost facing the reader; her body slightly twisted to her right. Her head faces the reader, but her sight is directed toward the other woman, with a serious expression. The scene is lit with natural light coming slightly from the left, casting a shadow of the black woman on the sofa and on the brick wall in the background.
