Sunday Brunch: A Novel
Five women met during law school in Houston and used Sunday brunch as a way to unwind. Since graduating, they have maintained the tradition and remained close. The storyteller, Alexis "Lexi" Parker, is struggling with her faith. She is the spiritual and commonsense anchor of the group but has not found someone to fill that role for her. Jermaine Richmond met her husband in law school. He is now a partner at her father's firm and is having difficulty balancing impressing his father-in-law and keeping Jermaine content. Capricia "Capri" Sterling is on the fast track to partner. Yet, she is merely maximizing her earning potential while assuming responsibility for her ailing grandmother and younger sister. Jewel Whitaker is a self-absorbed only child obsessed with the material trappings of success. Angelica "Angel" Capers is recently divorced and is experiencing health issues that have caused her to reassess her position on love and family. Each woman ultimately has her prayers answered by recognizing the importance of nurturing a strong faith, life, and family relationships.Lillian LewisCopyright © American Library Association.
