Girls never know they say ’till they women and at times not even then. Well, I’se a woman now! And I’m gonna have my say. Right here and now, where can’t nobody stop me.
After two years of marriage, a gnawing feeling leads Belinda “Pecan” Morrow to suspect that getting married before the conclusion of her senior year in high school and after her father’s sudden death—was a huge mistake. She packs up her few belongings and her baby girl and attempts to leave her husband, Ricky Morrow, the up-and-coming boxing sensation from Mississippi.
When he catches her, she learns that Ricky has no qualms about using his fists outside of the ring.
As the years rolls by, Pecan does her best to protect herself physically and her four girls emotionally from the tornado that is Ricky. Then one day he crosses the line and their marriage comes to a dramatic end.
But leaving Ricky is only the beginning because as she quickly finds out, he doesn’t need to live under the same roof to wreak havoc in her life.
PECAN SOUNDS LIKE PERSON THAT WANTS TO LIVE, NOT TO JUST EXIST.
I think so too. She just wants to go where her heart takes her and not pay any mind to what others expect of her. It’s not really a realistic goal but that’s how she thinks.
I like your new cover, D. Good job! Can’t wait to read the article about how you developed it. (hint, hint ^.^)
PS – I followed a #sixsunday link here from twitter…I was expecting to read six sentences from your work. This was a pleasant surprise, but you owe me!
Oh, sorry! Had no idea what the “six” was about … lol.
No worries! Next week! The goal is to take six lines from any one of your works and publish as a teaser. There’s no rule to which six lines, but I decided to avoid giving myself a headache trying to find the “perfect six” and decided to go with the first six lines from page six.
I’m excited to hear about your new book. I plan on reading it when it comes out. I’m in process of finishing my own novel and getting it published as well.
Thanks! And good luck with your novel.
