Synopsis: She's No Angel
"Reminiscent of Waiting to Exhale," (Booklist), Diva Diaries secured Janine A. Morris' reputation as one of today's most exciting novelists. In She's No Angel she delivers a moving, unforgettable story about the consequences of not honoring the ..honesty is the best policy' code with the one you love... Isaac is living proof that nice guys can finish first. He's waited a long time for the perfect woman, and now that he's found her, he is more than ready to start a family. But he has no idea that his fiancée is keeping a few secrets--secrets that could extinguish his dreams...Young and beautiful, Charlene grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, but she never told Isaac the extent of her demons. For the first time in her life, Charlene knows what it feels like to be happy and truly in love. But the dark past she's worked so hard to outrun is about to catch up with her in a way that could destroy any chance of a future with Isaac...
Synopsis: Diva Diaries
Diva Diaries is a page turning novel about three smart, sexy African American divas: Dakota, Jordan, and Chrasey. Best friends since college, these thirty-something native New Yorkers have seen it all-or so they think. Because as they're discovering, their wild school days have nothing on the dramas of adulthood...
Do the thrills of youth have to end after a certain age? With her thirty-first birthday around the corner, Dakota doesn't think so. She may be a successful marketing executive, but she still believes in sex, drugs, and rock and roll. She's just not sure whether Tony, her on-and-off man, agrees. Tony is successful in his own right, making his money in the music industry. The idea of settling down has come up once or twice between them, but Dakota isn't sure she's quite ready for that. And at this rate, will she ever be?
Chrasey has been married to Keith for six years. They have two children, and own a house in Queens. Life has been good, but lately Chrasey senses problems at home. She's not sure what's up with keith, but he's not himself, and she's feeling neglected. Chrasey is a firm believer in upholding her wedding vows, but after months of temptation from a handsome younger man, she finds herself becoming something she never thought she'd be: married and unfaithful. As much as Chrasey wants her old life back, some messes are easier to get into than out of...
Jordan, the most sensible of the trio, has adopted the mother role. But even good girls have their demons. Jordan lives with her husband and son on Long Island, and has worked hard for her success as a lawyer. But her desire to have it all may cause her to risk everything. With a husband who didn't sign up for glitz and glamour, Jordan has to walk a fine line to balance her personal and professional lives. Ultimately, she must decide what her priorities are-but the wrong choice could cost more than she wants to pay.
From the sweet to the bittersweet, life's dramas will play out one way or another. And one way or another, the secrets these women share will strengthen the bonds of sisterhood that help them survive it all...
This is a story based on real people, real life situations... so trust me, if its not you, its someone you know... read it, let me know what you think...
Reviews on Barnes & Noble-
Michelle M, A reviewer, 02/17/2007 DEFINITELY A GREAT READ! I read this book not too long ago. From the title of the book... you wouldn't expect the depth this book contains... I mean all of my friends that read this book (by my recommendation) loved it. We can all relate to a character if not all of them. We all know someone/some people or we are these characters. Definitely well written and not a chapter of boredom. Can't wait to read her next book!
KGB ([email protected]), an avid reader, 09/10/2006 A reviewer Okay going in you may be under the asusmption that this is your typical female drama filled book, and you can almost predict the ending, but its exactly the opposite. It is about three true friends and we know they are hard tome come by. They all go through tough times in there own personal lives but when its all said and done they are there for one another. They spill it all out and even when they know they may be chastised for there indiscretions they keep it real. It just goes to show that things aren't always as they may seem and when the going gets rough its always good to have someone that you can lean on and help you get through it. I know personally I had grown sick and tired of those typical ghetto melodramas and this was a welcome change. So please go check this book out, you'll be glad you did.

THE OFFICIAL MYSPACE PAGE OF
JANINE A MORRIS



All I can say is that I have to thank God daily. I am blessed in every which way.

I have a great family, don't know what I'd do without them. So far, I have lived a happy and fulfilling life, so far all my dreams coming true. My book, law school - I thank God for the ability to achieve both of those goals and the ability to dream of bigger ones.

I'm in a relationship with my best friend- he is my homie and love of my life. I have great friends, from different walks of life, and we meet at this one happy place that all sister friends meet.

Really can't complain when I think about it. I have a great life, and I'm thankful for every aspect of it. Anything that I want in this life, I have faith that God will put it in my path at the right time just as he has so far.

Not on myspace for the "hooking up."

I'm happy she did, because since then I have met many cool people, people who have read Diva Diaries, and a lot of old friends. I must say Myspace was a cool idea :)
