About the Author: I admire the fact that she never gave up that desire
to write not even after she finished at Hampton University, or after
receiving her MBA from New York University.Not even after opening up a financial services agency,managing the #1 division for 9 years did
she give up on her dream to write. Her first novel "Temptation" was originally self published in 1997 and later picked up by Time Warner in
2000. Well let's just say it's been on and poppin' since then!That book was on the Essence bestseller's list for 9,count 'em 9,months straight.NAACP later nominated this book for outstanding literature.
Speaking of accolades: She also received the Golden Pen Award for best Inspirational Fiction and the Phyillis Wheatly Trailblazer Award for being a pioneer in African American Christian fiction.
About the book:Sheridan Hart is left to pick up the pieces when her husband of 16 years has dumped her for another man. From the outside looking in they had the perfect life. He was a successful Doctor, she stayed home to take care of the
kids and run their businesss(ironically selling greeting cards ) Hart to Heart. Why was this happening to her?
She went to church and tried to raise her kids the right way so why her?How would she face the people in church? To make things even more complicated their son Chris, refuses to talk to his father. Tori, always the Daddy's Girl still wants to spend time with her father even though he has moved out.
My overall impression: I was very reeled in pretty quickly! I loved the pacing of the plot, my only bone of contention is that I don't think it's realistic for someone to bounce back from life altering news in 6 months. I
do believe that God will heal you from that pain. I am a witness to this myself , however I believe it is a
process that God helps you with in time.I really did enjoy this book and if you aren't familiar with the Jasimine
series by the author definitely check those out I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars
