With the unique blend of truth and humor that made her first
novel, What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day . .
., a huge bestseller, Pearl Cleage returns with an
extraordinary novel that is rich in character, steeped in
sisterhood, and bursting with unexpected love . . . and
maybe just a little magic.
Depending on the time of
day, Regina Burns is a woman on the edge of a nervous
breakdown or an overdue breakthrough. One shattered heart
and six months of rehab have left her wary and
shell-shocked—especially with the prospect of taking a
temporary consulting job in Atlanta, a move that would allow
Regina to rescue the family home that she borrowed against
when she was “a stomp down dope fiend.” Her stone-faced
banker has grudgingly agreed to give her sixty days to
settle her debts or lose the house.
Returning to
Atlanta is a big risk. Last time Regina was there, she lost
track of who she was and what she wanted. There’s a lot of
emotional baggage with her new employer, Beth Davis. Can she
really forgive Beth for breaking up her wedding plans on New
Year’s Eve because she just didn’t think Regina was good
enough to marry her son?
Meanwhile, Regina’s
visionary Aunt Abbie has told her to be on the lookout for a
handsome stranger with “the ocean in his eyes” who has a
bone to pick and a promise to keep. Then a blue-eyed brother
appears on the streets of Afro-Atlanta wearing a black
cashmere overcoat, flashing a dazzling smile, and lending a
helping hand when Regina needs it most. But between falling
for Blue Hamilton and dealing with Beth, secrets will emerge
that will threaten to send her life twisting in surprising
new directions.
Like a conversation with a good
friend, Some Things I Never Thought I’d Do shares
hope, love, and laugher. As always, it is Pearl Cleage’s
unforgettable characters and her gift for dialogue that will
earn this provocative new novel a place in the hearts of her
growing family of readers.
