Description

Two starkly contrasting families collide amidst disturbing revelations that threaten to shatter their beliefs and marital vows in this raw and reflective romantic drama in the vein of Donna Hill’s Confessions in B-Flat.

Raised on red-blooded American traditionalism, Mark’s views on life are simple—the man leads, provides, and protects the household, and the family follows suit, no matter the cost. His refusal to part from his detrimental ways paired with his primitive ideologies drives an unknown wedge between him and those he cherishes. When he receives a series of devastating news, it could prove to be the catalyst for change that he doesn’t realize he needs.

Amy struggles to keep her family together as Mark’s behavior continues to spiral out of control. For years, she’s lived in the shadow of their marriage while trying to maintain an upstanding home and work-life balance. Soon, she finds herself immersed in a string of personal mishaps that may cause everything she’s tried to hold together to gradually slip between her fingers.

Sheldon has beaten all odds stacked against him. As a black man, he is Ivy League educated with a prominent career, a beautiful and equally educated wife, and adorable children. Their life is the epitome of the American dream fulfilled. For Sheldon, having everything you need doesn’t always equate to what you desire. Desires that could ruin all his accomplishments.

Eva has hopes and dreams that are buried under burping babies and wifely responsibilities. She loves her family but has lost herself in the process. In an effort to figure out her new normal, she becomes a woman her husband Sheldon doesn’t recognize. While trying to find her way back to herself, she risks losing the faith and family she holds dear.

Based on the cover, I thought it was a murder mystery. The author doesn’t waste time getting into plot. The racism from one of the main characters had me hating him right away but his redemption story is riveting. The other 3 main characters are flawed yet relatable. Besides racism, it deals with infidelity, homosexuality, teenage pregnancy and religion. The author did a wonderful job of writing about these issues without making it political, judgmental or too “preachy”

This gripping romantic drama had me hooked from the start. As I followed the intertwined lives of these families, I couldn't help but feel a rollercoaster of emotions. From frustration at Mark's stubbornness to empathy for Amy's struggles, the story kept me on edge. I found myself reflecting on the delicate balance between tradition and personal growth, making this book a truly captivating read that left me pondering long after I turned the last page.
