Critics have compared her work to that of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, but J. California Cooper has a warm, witty style that's definitely her own. Each of her short stories is a gem of downhome wisdom, polished with a bit of gossip, some heartbreak, and lots of humor. In 'Funny Valentines' a 'simple' woman draws one heart on Valentine's Day and divides it among the people she loves, until all but one of them lies in the cemetery. 'Living' portrays a man in midlife crisis who leaves his loving wife and pleasant country home for a taste of high city living and returns with a new perspective on life. 'Spooks' is the tongue-in-cheek tale of a man who masquerades as a ghost in order to outsmart an unscrupulous suitor and win the heart of a vulnerable widow. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and always touching, J. California Cooper's characters enlighten us and enrich us as they find love in unlikely places. The warm narrations give readers a sense of chatting with nosy but well-meaning neighbors over the back fence.
In this smart and sexy novel from Blackboard best-selling author Yolanda Joe, Bebe Thomas is looking for love. Her first date with Isaac Sizemore seems like the start of something big, until she catches him on the phone with another woman. But this 'woman' is actually Isaac's 13-year-old daughter, Dash, who misses her mother and quickly pegs Bebe as the enemy.
As Bebe and Isaac struggle to make their relationship work, Joe frequently changes the perspective, allowing each individual a chance to shine. A full cast of talented Recorded Books narrators captures the unique spirit of every character in this exuberant tale.
