Gotta Keep on Tryin': A Novel por Virginia DeBerry
Continuing their story, it's real life that affects and troubles their lives. I don't always like them but I enjoyed the read
The life of two black women who struggled through life changing events. The beginning felt like it wandered around before deciding where to go with this story but as it unfolded I was more drawn in. If you stick with it I think you'll like the stories of these two women
Not really a romance, more about family dynamics and watching a man's world disintegrate. I was glad when it was over.
While I often wondered where the heck they were going with this story, I eventually was pulled into these women's lives
