by Wahida Clark
New York Times best-selling author Wahida Clark is all too familiar with the
truths of ghetto life. The first novel in her gritty series takes readers
into the streets, where a wrong choice could be the last choice a person
ever makes.
In a 'hood loaded with sex, brutality, and crime, three friends are at a
turning point. They can surrender to the streets--and the murderous men who
rule there--or walk a totally different path. But nothing is simple for
women addicted to life on the edge. And everything has consequences.
Angel, Jaz, and Kyra are all leading double lives, torn between working hard
to leave the ghetto behind--and being dragged back in by the lying, pimping,
drug-dealing men they can't seem to let go. From jealous rampages to bloody
turf wars to rage-fueled vendettas, a tangled web of violence binds these
women to the very place that could destroy them.

Loan Officer Tammy McDonald has just come out of another failed relationship
with a wannabe thug. To break this destructive pattern, she leaves her home
city of Dallas for San Diego. As she settles in rainbow California,
fantasies of meeting an ebony prince fade, so she eyes Dale Bristol as a
potential ivory replacement.
Terrell Jackson is San Diego's only black optometrist. Women regularly drop
in for more than just eye exams, but he stays true to his girl Tasha until a
wet dream unleashes a ridiculous outburst. Fed up with her jealous fits, he
denounces the common "dedramanators" in his life-black women.
Even though Penelope Miller was raised in the South by a racist father once
affiliated with the KKK, she can't ignore her attraction to black men. But
she never expected to fall in love with one...nor did she expect her
"interracial felony" to threaten their lives.
SELLOUT follows these three individuals and the consequences of dating
outside their race. In the quest to find what they think is missing in their
lives, they encounter guilt, fear and mess they never
anticipated...including murder.

#20 - Why Do I Have To Think Like A Man?: How To Think Like A Lady And Still Get The Man
by Shanae Hall & Rhonda Frost
Ready To Up Your Game?
This page-turner leaves readers buzzing with oohs, ahhhs and OMG's from the
first paragraph.
Written as a straight talk, no chaser retort to the Steve Harvey's runaway
bestseller 'Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,' Shanae Hall's 'Why Do I have
To Think Like a Man?' is a fitting resounding response regarding men, sex,
relationships and women getting what they really 'reeeally' want. Finally …
THE LADIES GET THEIR SAY!
As a Sirius Satellite Radio personality on Jaime Foxx's 'Foxxhole' and a
former NFL wife appearing on 'E! True Hollywood Story, Sports Stars, Private
Lives,' Shanae Hall doesn't shy away from life's difficult conversations. If
it has to be said, Shanae will say it. And this book unequivocally proves
the point.
In their own funny, fresh and bold way, Shanae and her co-author and mother
Rhonda Frost, tell it like it is and like it most definitely is not as they
hilariously chronicle their marriages, their divorces, and their dating of
men from the NBA, NFL, and Hollywood stars to everyday rank-and-file guys
who seem worthy. From engagingly different intergenerational perspectives,
Shanae and Rhonda make it clear that the persistent 'player' mentality in
today's men is fashioned, nurtured and created by the very women who hate it
so much.
