Dr. Blake’s formal education began in a one-room schoolhouse in east Texas and continued with her graduation from Booker T. Washington High School in Shreveport, Louisiana. She received her foundation in literature from two historically Black colleges: the Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Southern University and the Master of Arts in American Literature from North Carolina Central University. A Doctorate of Education focused on writing and the composing process from Columbia University’s Teachers College was followed by a postdoctoral Certificate of Lifelong Learning from Harvard University.

Even in Springfield, where we experienced miracles on a daily basis, we harbored and hid our predjudices. Change takes place over time, usually as old people die off. I realize change doesn´t seem to happen fast enough. It is a matter of perception. Life is a matter of perception. We perceive happiness and misery. We choose which path we take.

When Maria Flook's fourteen-year-old sister Karen disappeared from their suburban home, the author was changed forever. My Sister Life maps the story of two castaways from American suburbia who, while apart from each other, live mysteriously parallel lives. With unrelenting realism and beguiling wit, Flook gives us an intimate account of her sister's life as a child prostitute, and of their coming of age in the 1960s--that surreal and wrenching moment of baby-boomer disenfranchisement, when the sexual revolution collided with the domestic fallout from the Vietnam War. From the ocean liners and Paris vacations of their refined upbringing to the gritty peepshows and adult theaters where they find jobs, the girls flee from a beautiful and tormented matriarch with secrets of her own. Her missing sister becomes Flook's secret heroine--the sole example to follow in her journey into womanhood. The sisters live in trailer parks. They are faced with sexual assault, car thefts, and petty crimes with unpredictable men. Escaping from an abusive Vietnam vet, Karen takes her toddler to join her sister, who is herself raising a baby on her own; it is the first time they are under the same roof since their childhood. Their unorthodox reunion allows the sisters to forge a life-saving bond. My Sister Life moves beyond biography or memoir to give us an astonishing vision of an American family--an authentic testimony to the defiant, undaunted faith between two sisters who connect after years apart.

My book attempts to give an honest portrayal of my life much lived in America's black world. The "Black world of America" from my experiences is very much different than that of White America profoundly, so I found, through my experiences, study, and observations that there is a dislike and hatred may not be too strong a word to describe the feeling prevalent in Black America. I don't feel my description is, in any way, an exaggeration. I am also the author of more than one hundred essays on race, Black racism, and a proponent for the adaption of a new college course (may be adaptable for high school juniors and seniors) titled "Comparative Racism." I also describe my fourteen years policing in Black neighborhoods with a Black partner. I look at police corruption, corrupt city officials, and I describe my personal experiences and knowledge of events and members of the Chicago's south suburban mafia. I give insight into personal experiences with Black racists and racism at various level in Black America. I covered my time as a White student at an HBCU and my many intimacies with black sistas, including my marriage to a Black woman. Sex, crime, corruption, mafia, racism, hatred, corporate intrigues, it's all between these pages, much of which, I am not proud. I am not Black, but I know I had a perch few other White people have had in my personal experiences. You be the judge, but for me, I am not optimistic about the future of Black and White America. Tell me it ain't so.
