Author Description

A compelling novel that demonstrates the essence of true friend-ship between three African Americans in their mid-thirties. The friends find that flesh is flesh whether it's on the bones of Robert, a strikingly handsome, sanctimonious, Muslim gynecologist; on the bones of Gloria, a brazen, irreverent school counselor who happens to be the preacher's daughter; or on the bones of Tianna, an angelic, "happily married" clinical psychologist.Robert has it all-a successful business, a beautiful wife and a religion that keeps him grounded. Still, something is missing, and he longs for true happiness. He realizes that he must address some issues from his past before he can find peace in his present. Despite his wife's disapproval, Robert turns to his South Florida roots for help; he turns to his sister-friends-Gloria and Tianna. Gloria is a divorced mother of twelve-year-old twin boys. Sure, she's the preacher's daughter, and was even married to a preacher herself. However, that did not exempt her from betrayal by her preaching ex-husband. After years of therapy, she learns to "let it go." She is finally in control of Gloria again and loving every minute of it-or so she thinks. Tianna is always there for her two friends, giving advice and helping them to find strength through life's devastations. Suddenly, tragedy strikes Tianna's world and the death of someone close to her causes Tianna's mind and spirit to weaken. Now that Tianna has lost faith in all that she believes, can Robert and Gloria help save Tianna's marriage? Can they save her life?
