| Summary: | Smart, sassy, and full of surprises, this book follows three gay African-American couples (and their Puerto Rican confidant) through the twists and turns of building (and sometimes, destroying) relationships. Their stories--funny one moment, frightening the next--reveal the hard truths about the journey from lust to love and about the choices we make along the way. You meet three couples, all in different stages of their relationships: David, a sweet, passive man who can't break the hold of his abusive live-in lover Allen; Stephen, who leaves his girlfriend and young son to pursue the sexuality he's been hiding with Jamal, a mysterious man with a shocking secret; Sarafina, who's desperately seeking to escape a powerful lover from her past as she builds a future with Dominique; and Damien, who's seen more than his share of heartache and heartbreak.--Publisher description. |
