| Queen Midas Books Where Drama Reigns Supreme |
Tabitha Williams, nineteen, doubles as a punching bag every time
her boyfriend drinks one too many. When she stabs him and flees
to her mother’s house with her three-year-old daughter, she thinks
it’s finally over. Unfortunately, the drama has just begun! “Will she
find the courage to leave him for good? And will he let her?”
Lisa Perkins, seventeen, is the “strong one,” or at least that’s what
Tabitha and Shanice think. However, this couldn’t be further from
the truth. When she leaves her home after her mother refuses to
believe that her stepfather has raped and impregnated her, she
thinks that distance will solve everything. She finds that she
couldn’t be more wrong.
Shanice Thomas, fourteen, is giving teenage rebellion a whole
new meaning. Her mother recently found Christ, and the party that
was Shanice’s life is apparently over. Thrust into situations she
isn’t equipped to handle, Shanice suddenly finds herself learning
painful new lessons about the consequences of sleeping around.
Strawberry Mansion: A Philadelphia Story is fierce fiction peppered
with urban grit! It not only explores the girls’ struggles in vivid
detail, it highlights their loyalty, love, and kindness for each other!
You won’t be able to put this book down!
This is a journey of three Sista-friends, Tabitha, Lisa and
Shanice. You will not only recognize them, you will feel them
instantly, because they love and laugh, hurt and cry and dream
the dreams we all dare to dream. Each one is seeking to get
through, get past, get over, and to survive inside the lives they
were handed. You will relate to their struggle. You will applaud
their victories. With realistic precision, debut author Julia Press
Simmons has penned a modern day opus!
