Congratulations to Brittany Adams. She is the winner of Kathleen Y'Barbo's Sadie's Secrets.This week I welcome Keisha Bass as my guest. Her new novel, Permanent Resident at the Purse Table released last month to great reviews. Here's a sampling of the 5 Star Reviews on Amazon.
For a debut novelist, Keisha Bass has nailed
it. Her mix of ethnic dialog and imagery is wonderful. At times you will
chuckle, at times gasp. Her characters seem real and she deals with real life
situations openly, but respectfully. Ava, her main character, suffers from poor
self esteem due to an over-critical mother and a weight problem. In a country
where the norm is now a size 14-16, this is a timely book for every girl or
woman, no matter your race, ethnicity or viewpoint.

This was so entertaining & I couldn't put
it down. Love the scriptures throughout the story. Great read! I can't wait to
read the next one or see the movie.

I loved every word, I did not want it to end. I
can't wait until the next one. Real people with real issues working through
real problems with God's help. Uplifting!

If you’re size six, you dance. If you’re Ava
Alexander, you watch the purses while your girlfriends dance. Each man that
passes her by takes a little of her self-esteem. After escaping a mentally
abusive relationship, she promises God she will wait on Him to bring her the
right man. And she means it—Until Ishmael. When her best friend’s fiancé throws
a few compliments her way, she travels down the path of betrayal. Ava’s choice
strains her friendship and sends her into a depression.
Ava receives spiritual guidance from Dr. Glory
Moses. Through God’s Word, there is a glimpse of hope for a restored friendship,
and a newfound love for the woman she is. In addition, a man she meets at the
counseling center offers her a glimpse of what could be if she lines up with
God’s will for her life. Will Ava be able to overcome her insecurities and step
into the life God plans for her, or will she continue to self-destruct?
