Butler's
second novel (after Sorority Sisters) deals sensitively with the impact
of domestic abuse on an African-American family and the choices made by a
young woman dealing with issues of self-doubt while seeking acceptance in
her relationships ... Building on the successful formula of her first novel,
Butler continues to focus on the lives of sorority sisters as they make the
transition from college coeds to young women dealing with life, the job market,
love and relationships.

hasn't simply written a love story in Hand-me-down Heartache. She is
also sending a self-esteem message to young women. Through her main character's
stumblings and discoveries, Butler subtly weaves a theme of believing in yourself,
or not living simply to please those around you but [realizing] we all deserve
to be loved and treated well.
