In The Company Of My Sistahs (2006) - Plot & Excerpts
Lisa invites her sister Renee and two longtime friends- Kayla and Nadine on a trip to Jamaica because she has a secret that she needs to share with the ladies. The books main character is Renee,whom is hot- to- trot , selfish, immature and seems to not understand boundaries. Unfortunately, her lack of concern for others will bring her face to face with danger on this trip. One would have thought that Lisa would be the main character since she is the reason they are on the trip , but for some reason the author did not spend enough time developing this character throughout the story. However, Lisa's health condition is a major part of the story. Kayla, is an overweight, single mother, suffering from low self-esteem, involved in an affair with the married Pastor of her church. Her pitiful character will make you want to slam the book shut many times. Nadine, is keeping a secret, of a "taboo" topic from her friends, for fear they might judge her or reject her, which forces her to pretend to be something or someone she is not. Interestingly, Nadine is the only character that shows any "growth" by the end of the book. There is actually a sequel to this book titled, "Trouble Loves Company" that is a real page turner. Fortunately, I read that book several years ago, because if I had read THIS book first I probably would have not been excited to read another book by Ms. Daniels. There is plenty of sex and drama in this book but in my opinion not much of a captivating "story". If you read it be sure to follow up with the sequel which is very good.
