Product Description
Leah and Sammie are two friends just trying to make it. They try their best to avoid drama, but somehow it alwys returns--and each other.
Leah thought she had found, and married, "The Good Man." Now, after a few years of marriage and three small children, her "good man" has eyes that are constantly roaming. Her bad turns to worse when she finds out that one of her children is autistic, and her house is soon to be foreclosed upon. In her lowest moment, she calls someone she knows will understand her plight--Sammie. Sammie hasn't changed much since Marie passed away--she's still looking for love in all the wrong places. Knee-deep in drama, Leah and Sammie finally realize that they can only count on themselves--and each other.
Brimming with juicy drama, betrayal, and family secrets, Lawd, Mo' Drama is funny and moving, heartbreaking and hopeful. Ultimately it offers a moving look at women's issues and the sisterhood that can also sustain us through life's toughest times.
From Booklist Readers first met best friends Sammie Davis and Leah Simmons in All That Drama (2007). Having survived bad treatment from men in general, including a marriage separation, the murder of a friend, jealousy, and other relationship fiascos, the women are back with more crises. Several years have passed, and Leah, with three children in diapers, one of whom is autistic, has been dumped by her two-timing husband. Since he refused to let her work during their marriage, she has no marketable skills. At the end of her rope, Leah turns to her once-estranged mother for help with the kids. For her sanity, she relies on the power of friendship and Sammie's support.Lawd, Mo' Drama, isn't only about the trials and tribulations of black women--it's about challenges faced by all women. Readers who like fiction that takes them on a emotional roller coaster will definitely go for McKinney's angst-filled novel. Although her latest works well as a stand-alone, it's even better paired with the first volume. Shelley Mosley Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved.
