In Love Frustration Black Board
Bestselling author RM Johnson brings readers a compelling story about love
in its many messy, complicated embodiments. Jayson Abrahms is tired of
playing games; his days of clubbing, partying, dating, cheating, then
partying, dating and cheating again are over. He proposed to his girlfriend,
the ironically named Faith Sheppard, and is exciting about his rapidly
approaching wedding day. There is one problem however. Faith is deeply
threatened by Jayson’s relationship with his former-lover-turned-best-friend
Asha Mills. When forced to choose between his best friend and his future
wife, Jayson does what many of us might – he lies. But nothing is quite what
it seems for Jayson, Faith, and Asha. Jayson makes an important discovery
about his bride-to-be while Asha imagines and then explores different
possibilities for herself and her future.
This exciting novel probes friendship
and romance, insecurity and the comforts provided by tradition and family,
the sometimes visceral need to act on one’s desires and the courage and
struggle that come with self-acceptance.. #1 Essence bestselling
author RM Johnson is praised by E. Lynn Harris for tackling "the most
significant issues in our society today with a respect, a poignancy, a
knowledge that make him, undoubtedly, the writer for the new millennium."
Described by Colin Channer as "one of the most daring and insightful
novelists of his generation," Johnson confronts his readers with difficult
situations but also presents them with the excitement of finding genuine
fulfillment, both sexual and emotional. Provocative and moving, Love
Frustration is well worth the risks and challenges reading it will
create. BBN |
