Let's Talk Books

[CrimsonTide4]

Hello,

I am writing for two reasons. First, I want to thank each and every one of you for all the love and support you have shown me since the beginning of my writing career. There is certainly no way I could have come this far without you. Secondly, I wanted to let you know that my fifth novel, A TASTE OF REALITY, will begin shipping to bookstores December 17th and will arrive sometime between then and January 7, 2003. I will then be starting my tour somewhere around January 14. The tour schedule will be forwarded to you in late December.

The story line centers on racial discrimination in the workplace with subplots exploring gender discrimination, friendship betrayal, and marital infidelity.

Book Summary

Kimberla Lawson Roby, the #1 Blackboard Bestselling Author of CASTING THE FIRST STONE and IT'S A THIN LINE, returns with another moving and triumphant novel about a woman who against all odds, almost single-handedly battles the most blatant kind of workplace discrimination--while dealing with a crumbling marriage and a trusted friend's betrayal.

On the surface, Anise seems to have it all: a successful career, a solid marriage, and good friends. But when she applies for a promotion at work, she loses out to a white colleague who isn't nearly as qualified for the job. However, the problem at work is only the beginning of Anise's troubles. After being married for four seemingly blissful years, she discovers that her husband is having an affair. And to make matters worse, her best friend at work is keeping dangerous secrets.

But Anise is no quitter. As brave as she is determined, she reaches deep inside her soul to find the strength and courage to overcome heartbreak and stay her course. Ultimately, she will discover that what is worth having is worth fighting for--in her career, and most importantly in her heart.

With a compelling plot and writing that captures every emotion, A TASTE OF REALITY, is a deeply poignant and unforgettable story.
