Synopsis

African-American women's lives and relationships are complex and at times, deliciously spicy. So, when two sisters decided to interview over twenty women about relationships, sex, spirituality, and self, the result was a fantastic collection of funny, sassy, and moving vignettes.

From Jackie, who still loves to have sex with her husband of 28 years, to Lady, who is considering the pro's and con's of her extramarital affair, to Ayoka, who recently discovered her own inner spirituality, these women will draw you in to their lives. Their candid interviews offer insightful and intimate portraits of everyday African-American women.

About this title

From the Publisher

"Sister Gumbo, Sex, Life, and More Sex is a book for women, not just of color but of all races. Women share a common bond, and this book helps the reader feel that she is not alone, that her joys and heartaches have happened to others. The book gives her strength when she realizes that others have met the same sorrows but have still survived. It gives the reader a smile when she reads a story and says, "Uh huh, I've been there!!"

From the Author

Ursula and Mirranda are sisters originally from Louisiana who thought the idea of putting into writing some of the conversations that women often have would make for some interesting reading. They both reside in small towns outside of Fort Worth, Texas and are currently working on their sophomore project, this time from the male point of view.
