Easier Said
Than Done

Easier Said Than Done by Nikki Woods is a poignant new novel of love and risk, featuring a sassy and skillfully created cast of characters that are so full of life, they breathe, dream, and shout right off the page.

Kingston Phillips, a beautiful entertainment executive in the fast-paced city of Chicago, has finally grasped the brass ring. But just as her friends and colleagues are buzzing with her success, Kingston must return to Jamaica for her grandmother's funeral.

While there, childhood tragedies, heartbreak, AND family jealousies come back to haunt her, THREATENING TO SHATTER HER DREAMS. Not only does Kingston come face to face with the college sweetheart who left her heartbroken, but her grandmother names her executor of her will and forces her to make a life-altering decision.

Does Kingston continue to reap her success in Chicago or stay in Jamaica to fulfill her grandmother's dream--possibly risking another broken heart?

Can a modern woman find the balance between a successful career and the responsibilities of family and love while enduring the bumps along the way?
