The Goode Sisters (a novel)
When they were little girls, Kamilah and Denise were always at each others' throats. The fact that they were sisters didn't matter to either one of them. Years later, as they meet at Mama's funeral, they realize not much has changed. Denise is still living her life, hating the ghetto she came from while Kamilah refuses to leave it.
The Goode Sisters explores what happens when two strong African-American women dig up dirt on each other, name call and fight in the name of jealousy and deceit. But a deep, dark family secret threatens to pull both sisters into a sleazy, sordid underworld that they may not be ready for.
The two women continue to hash out feelings on everything from the boardroom to the bedroom, to how hard it is to still find a good man. This sometimes humorous novel explores some reasons why 'sistas' just can't seem to get along.

TeNDeR HeADeD: Poems For Nappy Thoughts I Left UncombedPoems that are emotional and powerful lace the pages of this debut poetry anthology. The often difficult plight of Black women is spoke of as if some form of folklore, but the real truth is, these painted words are the account of the author's own experiences as well as the experiences of her sisters.
From lost love to lost and regained faith, TeNDeR HeADeD, covers the wide spectrum of human emotions and how the insanity of one woman's lifetime can influence many.
