Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Wesley strays from her familiar mystery writings to give us a heartwarming tale of a family struggling to balance personal choices with family responsibilities. The emotions of love, rage, romance, and lust in the family and among friends may promote reader empathy for the real life struggles the characters encounter. The four central characters are Eva, Hutch, Charley, and Steven. Eva, Hutch's wife and Charley's mother, is forced to deal with Hutch leaving her because their relationship brings him no joy. She finds strength to move on and grow from those strong black women before her and from her new love interest. Hutch is the owner of a construction business that his father passed on to him. His relationship with his father has sourly affected the interaction with his son, Steven. Charley, an up-and-coming comic, is determined to secure her place in the world. The novel's compelling turning points help each of the characters discover that those who love you will most assuredly be affected by any business that you do! Lillian Lewis

From Library Journal
Wesley is best known for her Tamara Hayle mystery series. As in those novels, she makes her characters' world become the reader's. Here, she explores family, divorce, and relationships from the perspective of a 40-year-old African American woman.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This story was different and had a good twist to it. I really liked how it revolved around all the characters. I also enjoyed how the family finally comes together at the end and works things out. This is a pretty good read.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I mean to cast no aspersion on the mystery writings of Valerie Wilson Westley, but this romance novel shows best the wide range of talent this author possesses. What a welcome change to read about a mature woman in a serious relationship and how she discovers herself when she is suddenly left by her husband. Though I found the book to be well-written, well-paced and interesting, it was the simple things that made me really embrace this novel. I liked the fact that: the characters had simple African American names like Eva, Roscoe and Steven; the leading female characters were 40 plus years old and were often described as good-looking, sexy and desirable; Eva got involved with a younger man when she felt he offered her what she needed and let him go when he no longer served her needs; Eva learned to enjoy being by herself more than she enjoyed being with a man; Eva didn't have a state of the art job with a far out title and a six figure salary; the author managed to write a thoughtful, mature story of love, sex, hurt and relationships using little profanity; the theme was basically pro-marriage. Yes. For my money or trip to the library, Ms. Wilson can stick to romance novels. Maybe she could write a love story about Tamara Hayle, but if she decides to go back to mysteries, well...ain't nobody's business if she does!
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I gave the book an average rating due to the fact it was a very slow read. I had to literally force myself to read the entire book. This is my first time reading one of Valerie Wesley's books, so I'm looking forward to reading some of her others in the future.
