The Sistahood of Shopaholics
Four novellas follow the lives of four African American women through man problems, family issues, and addictions to the finer things in life. In Esdaile's "Shameless," single mother Della Mitchell gives into her urge to splurge and meets handsome Byron Fulton. In Monica Jackson's "Please, Baby Please," Neecy doesn't know where to turn when her car is repossessed until alluring car dealership owner Joseph Vaughn offers her a job. In Reon Laudat's "It Takes Two," nail salon owner Ramona bumps into her ex-boyfriend. Passion is rekindled, but will they be able to work through the problems of their past in order to create a future? Gillian's life spins out of control in Niqui Stanhope's "Promises" when she lies to her Nana about being engaged. Soon Nana has the wedding planned and can't wait to meet the groom. Gillian goes shopping and meets the man who just might be able to solve her dilemma. Feisty women, shopping forays, and lots of good men add up to pure entertainment.Megan KalanCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
