Locksie grew up in the church-against her will- thanks to her holier than thou mother. But now that she's all grown-up, she's her own woman and church is the last thing on her mind; her live-in boyfriend, Dawson, is the first. Locksie has shared a wonderful three years with Dawson without half the drama that her clients in the salon she manages has had in their relationships. But lately, Locksie begins to feel as though something is missing from her near perfect romance. When she goes to her favorite aunt, Mary, for some guidance, she doesn't like the direction her aunt is trying to steer her in.

And all the while with the child's mother taunts Hannah every chance she gets.

The Forthcoming: Michelle Taylor - Troubles Won't Last Always


Michelle Taylor
Troubles Won't Last Always
Available Now!
 
Trouble Won't Last Always is an exemplification of beauty, strength, and confidence as four women's search for love bonds them together. Mia's search for love takes her in all the wrong places in turbulent relationships. Imani, the rock of the women, holds onto her sanity with prayer and perseverance. Jasmine, the extravagant one of the bunch, exemplifies the phase "one life to live." Summer is the more "settled" one of the group and basically maintains the peace.
 
Mia has some obstacles to overcome in her life just for being a black woman and being a highly intellectual one at that. As each of these women share an unspoken bond and each has tremendously different lives that intertwine into one, it becomes impossible for them to cope without the strength and knowledge of the other. Mia's problem is that she desires love, but love fails her every time.
 
The ultimate failure of love is when she loses all of her children in a fire. Mia discovers that at this point perhaps a higher calling is seeking her attention. However, she feels that it's almost unrealistic to think she could turn to God at this point in her life. The women find out that life keeps on going in spite of the pain, and although it hurts like hell, they discover that in spite of it all, God becomes a resting place and life begins anew.

Orange Mint and Honey
Available Now!
 

Broke and burned-out from grad school, Shay Dixon does the unthinkable after receiving a “vision” from her de facto spiritual adviser, blues singer Nina Simone. She phones Nona, the mother she had all but written off, asking if she can come home for a while.

When Shay was growing up, Nona was either drunk, hungover, or out with her latest low-life guy. So Shay barely recognizes the new Nona, now sober and with a positive outlook on life, a love of gardening, and a toddler named Sunny. Though reconciliation seems a hard proposition for Shay, something unmistakable is taking root inside her, waiting to blossom like the morning glories opening up in Nona’s garden sanctuary.

Soon Shay finds herself facing exciting possibilities and even her first real romantic relationship. But when an unexpected crisis hits, even the wise words and soulful melodies of Nina Simone may not be enough for solace. Shay begins to realize that, like orange mint and honey, sometimes life tastes better when bitter is followed by sweet.
