On the Up and Up reveals the woman’s side of life with a
man on the DL. J.L. King’s groundbreaking New York Times
bestseller, On the Down Low, revealed the shocking truth
about one man’s secret life. Now, hear the other side of
the story in this inspiring, informative book by the one
woman who can tell it right, the one woman who knows—his ex-
wife.
Co-written with New York Times bestselling author, Karen
Hunter, On the Up and Up is Brenda’s inspiring account of
overcoming pain and betrayal to find her mission in life—
helping other women know they are not alone and that there
is a way to turn their hurt and isolation into forgiveness
and healing. With straight-up honesty and from-the-heart
wisdom, Brenda shares her journey from naïve, church-going
virgin always chaperoned on her dates through her days in
what she thought was a storybook marriage with the perfect
lover to the shocking discovery that put her life in a
tailspin. She reveals the DL signs every woman should be
looking for, the personality traits DL men seek out in
their “cover girls”, and discusses the real health risks
women with DL men need to know. And like an older sister,
she guides with assurance, advising women on how to have
that talk with their kids; how to let go of the pain and
find forgiveness; and how to learn to trust and love again
to let go of the pain and find forgiveness.
