This book is a dramatic look at marriage disappointments from a males perspective. Most men are fundamentally good, and they can resist the temptations of infidelity when given a choice. The challenges of dealing with a wife that constantly pushes them to the margins of his life can often be too much for some men to bear. Norman found himself the object of desire for a beautiful young flight attendant. He had several encounters with her in different places. He even had lunch with her in his own hometown, but he didnt know the woman. His last encounter with her was in his hotel room late one night on a road trip to Phoenix. His wife found out that he had invited the woman into his hotel room. She accused him of cheating and threw him out of the house, but he insisted he was innocent. With divorce looming, the only way he could prove his innocence was to find her and have her confront his wife with the facts. He had no idea who she was, where she was from, or how to find her. He was desperate to find the mystery woman named Pricilla, who was the only person who could save his marriage.

Women stand their ground in the midst of crisis in this story collection by the New York Times–bestselling author of The Color Purple. This collection builds on Alice Walker’s earlier work, the much-praised In Love & Trouble. But unlike her first collection of stories, the women in these tenderly wrought tales face their problems head on, proving powerful and self-possessed even when degraded by others—sometimes by those closest to them. But even as the female protagonists face exploitation, social asymmetries, and casual cruelties, Walker leavens her stories with ample wit and, as always, an eye for the redemptive power of love. A collection that reveals a master of fiction approaching the fullness of her talent, these are the stories Walker produced while penning The Color Purple. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

My poetry book is comprised of spiritual and nonspiritual poems. I consider it to be two books in one. I do believe that there is something in my book for everyone. The spiritual poems can be used to praise the Lord and develop ones trust in the Lord, and its about praising and giving thanks to the Lord. Its spiritually uplifting. I strongly believe I have been called by God to do his work and that it may be through poetry. The nonspiritual poems consist mostly of free-style poetry, and one can read and feel the passion in them. I welcome everyone to read my book of poetry.
