Satin Nights

By: Karen E. Quinones Miller

In this gritty and realistic page-turner, the men are tempting, the drama is long, and Regina Harris and her thirty-something girlfriends are more grown and sexy than they've ever been . . . Essence and Blackboard bestselling author Karen E. Quinones Miller returns with the follow-up to Satin Doll, her debut novel about four sassy women from Harlem. Puddin': Yeah, y'all know I'm gangsta wit' it. And that's why I don't give a hot damn about swindling these stupid wimps for whatever-be it a drink or their precious platinum credit cards. I may not have a college education like Gina and Tamika or a bougie job like Yvonne, but my sexy ass gets the job done.Yvonne: Let's face it: I'm too fine to be alone. I'm intelligent, gainfully employed-and did I mention how fine I am? Well, it's a lot harder to find a good man than you'd think. So why does everybody have a problem with me getting back with my ex? Please! He'd almost be perfect if he didn't still have a wife.Tamika: I guess I'm the most quiet out of all my girls. Marriage, motherhood, and med school will do that to a sista. And, hell, having a full-out drug war land in your home will certainly do the trick. It'll also keep you stressed, angry, and maybe even a little judgmental of your friends when they're sleeping with the enemy.Regina: Yeah, Little Joe ran the game twenty years ago. But it was that same game that helped me jump off my writing career. And after seeing him for the first time in years, I've got to at least talk to the man. Never mind that he looks better than ever and still has that same sexy swagger that I found irresistible. Or that he might not be the best example for my daughter...or that I'm still feeling my politician ex-hubby (just a little bit). Never mind all of that. Because talking never hurt anybody, right? Blending themes of friendship and street angst with tough, sexy, independent female characters, Satin Nights captures the edginess of urban grit and celebrates the strength of sista-hood.

Satin Doll

A Novel

By: Karen E. Quinones Miller

Satin Doll is a witty, insightful, heartbreaking and honest tale about romantic relationships, friendships, and class distinctions. Bang! Being shot in the middle of the night and left for dead is what it took to open her eyes. Until that fateful moment, Regina Harris lived la vida loca with pimps and hustlers, a gangster lifestyle that supplied the money she needed to get high and forget the poverty of Harlem. Now she has turned her life around, is a college graduate and freelance journalist, and makes enough money to live on the Upper West Side and hob- nob with the city's movers and shakers. She's become the classy Satin Doll of the Duke Ellington song. But she can't forget where she came from: her three best friends are from the old neighborhood. The Harlem homegirls. Regina tries to give emotional support to each of her friends as they deal with their own personal issues: Yvonne is a single mother looking for the right man. Tamika must raise two children alone while their father does time in jail for robbery. Puddin' lives her life by picking up men and smoking weed. Living in two worlds; comfortable in neither. On a night out partying with her homegirls in Harlem, Regina meets aspiring lawyer Charles Whitfield, son of a pro-minent, upper-class black family in Philadelphia. He loves her but not her rough-around-the-edges friends. She loves him but doesn't think she can live up to his family's expectations. Regina tries desperately to hide her former life, but when her past is revealed, it threatens to destroy her relationship with Charles and the life she has worked hard to create. From its dramatic beginning to the fateful ending, Satin Doll is a witty and truthful take on relationships, friendships, and class distinctions.

Baby Richard

A Four-year-old Comes Home

By: Karen Moriarty

Millions across the country were captivated by the heart-wrenching events taking place in Chicago. An innocent boy, known to the world only as "Baby Richard," became the object of the most controversial custody battle and failed adoption in history. The media furor -- spanning four years during the mid-nineties -- would prompt the passage of new laws and spread to other countries. This book reveals the myths of this notorious case, the unreported events since, and the unique challenges of living through it all for "Baby Richard." It's the true, inside story that will reshape your thinking today! You Will Discover How: Danny ("Baby Richard") survived the frenzied media, lies, public hysteria, and death threats; the conflict raged through the courts and state legislatures; powerful and prominent people, including First Lady Hillary Clinton, jumped into the controversy; the Baby Richard Curse felled most of the major participants, including Bob Greene ("the Baby Richard columnist"); Danny talks about his dramatic past, today, and his future. This is a reality book ... about people's passions, struggles, failings, and victories, by Danny's therapist, Dr. Karen Moriarty, licensed clinical psychologist. Disclosed with her clients' permission, this comprehensive narrative -- by the only continuous eyewitness -- provides the exclusive update on the child and all of the players. No matter how much or how little you know about Baby Richard, you will be surprised by this behind-the-scenes, intimate journey through the epic case. Book jacket.
