Review
"There Was a Spirit a is poignant and stimulating novel that explores sisterhood and the victory of social justice." -- Trevy A. McDonald, Author of Time Will Tell
"There Was a Spirit is a wonderfully written novel. This book is a must read." -- Yolanda Joe, Best Selling Author of “He Say, She Say”
From the Author
"Too often, the works of fiction depicting Black Greek sororities and fraternities are those of pledging and hazing. But there are so many untold stories of inspiration, sisterhood and even struggle within these groups that helped shaped the black community," says author Kimberly Noelle who took that concept and wrote the new fiction novel, There Was a Spirit. "This story does more than scratch the surface. It digs into the history of our people and deeper experiences within Black Greek organizations," Kimberly said of her inspiration to write this novel.
"There Was a Spirit is my first offering in a series to the sorority/fraternity community. The first book follows a year in the life of sorority member Najwa Jackson in 1973. The subsequent books in the series will chronicle the life and times of this same woman and her rise or fall in Omega Pi Alpha Sorority (fictitious sorority)." While Kimberly is familiar with the experiences of Black Greek life through her own affiliation, she says that this book is not about any particular organization but experiences that are universal within the entire Greek community. "Black Greek organizations have made a significant impact in the fight for equality within the African American community. Members of these groups contribute a life long amount of work to the community and the goals of their organizations. They also have a wealth of untold and fascinating stories of inspiration, sisterhood, brotherhood and even internal struggles that have strengthened their bond."
About the Author
There Was a Spirit is Kimberly Noelle’s first fictional novel. Kimberly received her Bachelors of Arts Degree from Columbia College in Chicago and a Master of Science Degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. In her spare time, she enjoys writing music, traveling, reading, collecting historical memorabilia and volunteering in the community. She is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and resides in the Chicago area. Currently, Kimberly is working on the continuing story of Najwa Jackson and the women of Omega Pi Alpha.

The Reality of Sisterhood
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
THERE WAS A SPIRIT is a poignant portrayal of college life during the early 1970's. It focuses on the unique experiences of African-Americans attending a primarily white university during a period of political and racial upheaval. The story begins in the early part of the century when racial dynamics were even more intense and even life threatening. Readers are introduced to Sadie Mae, one of the founding members of Omega Pi Alpha Sorority. Her story is an attention grabber, and it immediately draws you into the book. However, to discover Sadie's full story, readers must first move ahead several decades and meet Najwa Jackson, the main character.
Najwa Jackson is attending Casperton University, and is a proud member of Omega Pi Alpha Sorority. She has big plans for her senior year of college, particularly as it relates to the sorority because she has been elected chapter president. While on the surface she seems to have everything together, she deals with insecurity, loneliness and uncertainty about her future. As the story progresses, we meet her friends, family and associates, get a taste of Black Greek life, and a glimpse of political issues such as abortion and racism. Najwa's penchant for history her desire to learn more about Sadie's life and role as co-founder of the sorority, result in the discovery of a much more complete view of Sadie's life. What she unearths rocks the university to its very core.
Kimberly Noelle has ambitiously taken a coming of age story and integrated past and present events while addressing relevant social and cultural issues. Because there were so many layers to the story, there were times when I found myself wondering how it would all fit together. The author immediately piqued my interest in Sadie's story, but then shifts and focuses on Najwa. Sadie's story was sparsely dispersed throughout the book and while it was eventually resolved, I found myself getting frustrated. In addition, there were times when I felt the scenes depicting college and sorority life were tedious, at times adding length, but not much else. However, I am glad I stuck with the book because, in the end, the story was heartfelt and satisfying. (RAW Rating: 3.5)

Could Have Been Better
By Mahogany Book Club
There Was A Spirit By Kimberly Noelle 349pp (2004)
There Was A Spirit is set in 1973 and tells the story of Najwa Jackson, a
college senior at the fictional Casperton University located in Casperton,
Ill.
I like historical fiction and was interested in reading about college life
in 1973. Except for a few references to Angela Davis, Patti Hearst and
turntables the book really did not deal with what was going on in 1973 and
instead focused on Najwa's trials and tribulations as the leader of her
sorority. Her problems leading the sorority to me were not reflective of
the time period and the book could have easily been set in the 80's or
90's.
The book discussed the community service of the sorority, but overall, had
the effect of playing into the negative stereotypes about Greek life
instead of debunking the stereotypes. The only time the sisterhood became
the least bit concerned about what was happening on campus was when a plan
they hatched up negatively raised their profile on campus and they engaged
in damage control by speaking out about injustices at the school.
There was a touching story about the founder of the sorority but I did not
think it was successfully woven into the plot. The sacrifices of the
founder only served to make the activities of the sorority seem even more
trivial.
The book did a good job capturing Najwa's uncertainty about her future and
about role as a leader on campus. To that end it may be enjoyed more by
high school or college students. However, the author did not do enough with
the story line to make a non-Greek adult like me care about Najwa or her
sorority.
