About the book
“An animating, heartwarming look into the life of single parenthood.”—Black Issues Book Review
After a brief relationship in college, Catherine and Terry found themselves the parents of twin baby girls. A reluctant mother from the start, Catherine quickly abandoned the children for a successful career overseas. With the help of family and friends, Terry has raised the twins by himself, and now, eleven years later, he’s about to expand his family by marrying Jackie, herself a single parent. Suddenly realizing she needs a better family image to advance her career, Catherine shows up and demands custody of the twins. But Terry will not give them up without a fight.
Engagingly blending humor and drama, Parry “EbonySatin” Brown has written an entertaining novel of friendship, romance, and one man’s determination to keep his family together.
