Description
This is the story of four women. Soleil St. James, Dawn Anthony, Ebony Jones, and Dr. Jonelle "Johnnie" Edwards all live, work, and love in Jacksonville, Florida. The women from four different backgrounds don't know each other, but when one tragically triumphant event brings their worlds together, the women's jobs, relationships, and exponentially budding connections get tested in ways they've never imagined. All four question their place as African American women. Is the Black woman still the mule of the world? Can justice be served when the suspect is also the victim, and the victim has a hidden criminal history that's never reported or prosecuted, and whenever faced head on is swept under the rug? In a world where 'stand your ground' is immunity from prosecution for murder, or a license to kill, and domestic violence is scarcely recognized, what options does any one woman have? -- cover.
