A Taste of Reality (Paperback)

Description

A triumphant novel about an African-American woman who, against all odds, almost single-handedly faces down the most blatant kind of workplace discrimination, while at the same time dealing with a crumbling marriage and a trusted friend′s betrayal. 

On the surface, Anise seems to have it all: a successful career, a solid marriage, and good friends.  But when she applies for a promotion at work, she loses out to a white colleague who isn′t as qualified for the job.  But Anise doesn′t give up and tries again.  At the same, she discovers that her husband is having an affair.  And her best friend at work is keeping dangerous secrets.  As brave as she is determined, Anise finds out that she has the strength to deal with the heartbreak and stay her course.  Ultimately, she will discover that what is worth having is worth fighting for--in her career and , most importantly, in her heart.
