Another Awesome Debut Novel!
What A Sista Should Do
By Tiffany L. Warren
I have been very impressed with the books I have read from Walk Worthy Press this year! Many of the authors are first-timers. Meet three awesome sistas in What A Sista Should Do.
Pam is a successful career woman, mother of two and often a reluctant wife. She married a musician whose big dreams have now become a big pain. Being the sole provider of her home, Pam no longer puts much trust in her unemployed husband desires to make it big in the music industry. Her disdain is evident every time she meets one of her husband latest hip-hop wannabees.
Taylor is a single mom struggling to make ends meet for her and her young son. Regretful about her involvement with a married minister, she continues to hold her head up and refuses to leave her church home despite the stares and talk. Unfortunately, as her struggles increase, Taylor must break her safely kept secret, her son’s father.
Yvonne is a minister’s wife and God-fearing woman. Her marriage seems perfect on the outside and even in some ways Yvonne herself is oblivious to the true state of her marriage. In a jolting matter, she will find out her husband is not the godly man he may seem.
How do these three women from the same church connect? Unknowingly in her pursuit to reach out to Taylor, Pam gets stuck in the middle as Yvonne discovers her husband fathered Taylor’s son. It seems unlikely that Taylor and Yvonne would want to even be in each other’s space which at first they do not. Forgiveness and the overwhelmingly sense to pray for each other through some difficult events create an unusual bond.
There are quite a few novels written about the bond between female friends, but I believe this is the most unusual set of friends I have read about. It’s unusual because the friendship among these women is a true testament to the principles of Christianity. Each woman has her own problems and unique personality. In the beginning the common denominator between the three women was the church home they share. By the end of the novel, readers get a strong sense of the power of prayer and its effects over the most difficult circumstances.
