Drenched in the perils of passion and the sweet-sounds of jazz, Johnson dives deep into the world of ambition and the stumbling blocks of family. Clever, fast-paced and sexy, Love in a Carry-On Bag is a modern day love story that marks the healing power of forgiveness and begs the question, how much baggage is really too heavy to carry.

Praise for LOVE IN A CARRY-ON BAG
Black Expressions Book Club Alternate selection for May 2012!
“Love In A Carry-On Bag is refreshing and engaging, with instantly relatable characters caught in the dilemmas of modern life. I was pulled in at once and a little bit sad when I was nearing the end, as it was such an enjoyable ride. That's the mark of good storytelling and Sadeqa definitely hit the mark.” —Lolita Files, best selling author of Child of God
“With Love in a Carry-on Bag Philly sister, Sadeqa Johnson has written an old-school love story. It's all heart, sould and realness with a touch of a trumpet man's jazz reminding me of Spike Lee's classic film, Mo Betta Blues. Pick it up and enjoy this real chocolate love.” —Omar Tyree, New York Times best selling author of 19 books, Flyy Girl
“This tale's vivid portrayal of love travelling the distance will have readers flying high. A pure story from the heart that everyone will adore.” —Miasha, Essence bestselling author of the Secret Society trilogy, Diary of a Mistress and Mommy's Angel
“Johnson has woven a tale both entertaining and heart-rendering. An engaging, satisfying read!” —Erica Simone Turnipseed, author of A Love Noire and Hunger
“Sadeqa Johnson is a captivating novelist, who extrapolates the forces that pressure passion and sex in modern times. In the tradition of Terri McMillian and Omar Tyree, the distinctive style she has cultivated will smolder and smoke long after the last page has been turned.” –Jackson Taylor, author of The Blue Orchard --Jackson Taylor, author of The Blue Orchard
