Critic reviews

"Married to one of Washington, D.C.'s, most powerful African American attorneys, mother of two wonderful grown children, and owner of an elegant bridal gift shop, Morgana Johnson-Wells seems to have it all until her mother suddenly passes away and she learns that her husband has been unfaithful.... Alers' engaging tale is rich in family secrets, lost love, and women who never forget their strength, or their roots." ( Booklist)

Rochelle at her best!

I really enjoyed this book. It described in detail culture and customs of middle class AA over decades. Morgana's character was strong and believable. Her strength and that of her mother was believable as it what AA women have always done. The narration was excellent!
