Interesting reading. Almost getting weary of Jasmine's antics but it was interesting enough to complete the reading. I love reading Victoria Murray's books but the chaos that Jasmine creates is getting the best of me. Putting myself in the novel, I feel for her as she does not realize the more...
Plan BIf you think Mob Wives, Basketball Wives or any one of those Real Housewives anywhere are custom fitted with drama, scandal, and deceit, then you need to run up on first ladies, Jasmine Larson Bush and Rachel Jackson Adams. Both are certain that their husband has what it takes to be the pre...
Firstly I love both of the authors and I have read numerous of their individual work, but I did not thoroughly enjoy this book. It was just a little to much back and forth, under handed childish games from both Rachel and Jasmine that cause me to lose interest in the book early on. Being on that ...
Brilliant,I enjoyed the book from the beginning to the end. Ms. Murray took us on a journey highlighting the struggles of the members of a rising and sensational gospel group. The three member group comprised of 3 women decades apart. There is Sierra the twenty- something who proclaimed a life of...

I have a copy (autographed to someone else) packed somewhere that I got from a past co-worker while working at a private school library--telling me this was a "must-read" around 2008. Now I cannot locate the woman to return the copy and still didn't get the opportunity to read it until now but I ...
This was a wonderful book, it was a christian read and it's plotline fell with the scriptures. I had only one issue with the book and that was that technically no one really gave her time to grieve, everyone was all about her immediate forgiveness....and catching your best friend in your naked i...
If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow (Beyoncé Knowles, 2014). Victoria Christopher Murray’s Truth Be Told opened my eyes to the world of greed, intrusiveness, and carelessness I will be forced to enter once I am of age to be on my own. This Christian-Fiction n...
The Ex Files: A Novel About Four Women and Faith
This was my first "Christian" book. In some ways I liked it, although I am not a "Christan"-- I am a a Baha'i. But the writing (or at least the editing) needs work. people are always 'whining" things (rather then just saying them) and "smirking"and" "sniggering" when this is clearly not what is h...
A tried and true classic.I had read this book some time ago. I remember being, nervous, anxious, abandoned, alone, hopeful, sad and every emotion a woman done wrong can feel, all those emotions powered me to finish the book in record time. This time I decided to read it again in preparation for t...
AND THIS WAS the first morning that the water wasn’t seasoned with Jasmine’s tears. She tilted her head beneath the shower’s spray and then did something that always brought pain—she closed her eyes. Though today, she wasn’t afraid of the images that waited behind her lids. She knew for sure that...
Angel was stretched out on the floor, kicking her heels as she laughed at the cartoons. With a deep breath, Asia stepped away, leaned against the hallway wall. She had less than thirty minutes.She tucked the phone between her shoulder and ear. “I don’t know, Noon,” she spoke loudly. “There’s some...
All were from Syreeta, and I knew she was probably a mess by now, wondering what was going on. It was just that I didn’t want to talk to anyone, except Tyrone. And I figured Syreeta would call Raj eventually, and he would fill her in. I just wanted to keep all of my attention on Tyrone. And that’...
For the call, email, text.Nothing had come.Adam had forgotten all about me.Was it her money or her looks?Rolling over to the empty side of the bed—Adam’s side—I inhaled his lingering scent. I wrapped my arms around his pillow and imagined that it was him.But there was no way I could keep lying th...
She didn’t know how much more tension she could stomach. She’d almost bowed out of today’s taping because it involved the children, specifically Lewis. As much as she wanted to support Jacqueline’s Hope, having all of her children on was a deal breaker. Rachel had told Melinda she would walk away...
It had been a restless night once again, without Alexis by his side. This morning, he’d found her in the recliner in the living room. He did what he always did—kissed her cheek. And like a fairy tale, she’d awakened.He sighed at that memory. She would not sleep with him, but every other part of t...
Four solid days of talking and crying and reading and crying and drawing and crying. And, finally, there was a breakthrough. Finally, LaTonya was talking more about her mom and dad than she was talking about her sister. For the last twenty-four hours, she hadn’t said a word about wanting to go to...
