A Taste Of Reality

This "New York Times" bestseller is the searingly triumphant tale of an African-American woman who, against all odds, battles workplace discrimination, a crumbling marriage, and a trusted friend's betrayal.

On the surface, Anise seems to have it all: a successful career, a solid marriage, and good friends. But when she applies for a promotion at work, she loses out to a white colleague who isn't nearly as qualified for the job. And after being married for four seemingly blissful years, she discovers that her husband is having an affair. To make matters worse, her best friend in the office is keeping dangerous secrets.

But Anise is no quitter. As brave as she is determined, she reaches deep inside her soul to find the strength and courage to overcome heartbreak and stay her course. Ultimately she will discover that everything worth having is worth fighting for -- in her career and, most importantly, in her heart.
