FEATURED BOOKS
Join our featured others as we discuss their latest
projects. Enjoy!
| Love Lust & A Whole Lotta
Distrust |
| By DeiIra Smith-Collard |
 Employed
by Synergy Wireless these four women work together and sometimes
play together. Nicole and Kendra are best friends, co-workers
and much like sisters, but their relationship is soon tested
when Nicole feels threatened by Kendra. Nicole’s actions
reveal a secret that can ruin Kendra’s marriage. Kendra’s
once peaceful life has now been turned upside down by the
one person she thought she could always trust. Consumed with
rage she decides to beat Nicole at her own game.
Hired at the same time, Carmell and Natina are fast friends
learning to confide and trust in one another quickly. Natina
has ulterior motives for seeking a friend in Carmell. Her
intentions are soon revealed causing these close friends to
become bitter enemies. Contending for the same man’s
affections, these once friends now rivals use old tricks and
new games to outwit one another.
Entangled in a web of lies, entwined in a maze of deceit,
and motivated by their own selfish desires, the women of Love
Lust and a Whole Lotta Distrust find there’s a thin
line between love and lust, and when combined distrust will
soon follow.

| Rewriting the Script |
| By Arlether Wilson |
|
No one challenges traditional roles and stereotypes more than
Arlether Wilson. After spending more than ten years in foster
care she moved back to Fifth
Ward, a poverty stricken community in Houston, Texas where
no one was expected to excel. While her life story is similar
to many African American women, it is surprisingly distinctive.
Arlether has always been an achiever and attributes her drive,
determination and will to survive to her unyielding faith.
As the oldest of three children she was expected to grow up
fast and relinquish much of her childhood. Then just when
she thought the generational cycle of teen pregnancy was broken
she became pregnant and was forced to drop out of school during
her senior year.

discusses Rewriting the Script.
