The book works though. It won RT’s best multicultural award for..was it 2000? I think so. This is how it...

This is how it goes… Chapter One “First, I’d strap my husband on the bed with leather restraints.” Denise Whitton’s black leather pump beat a nervous rhythm against her briefcase. “How would you get him on the bed? Would you drug him?” Teensy asked, her meaty fingers digging another handful of potato chips from the large bag cradled on her lap. Denise’s foot stilled. She shifted uncomfortably on the sofa between Teensy, an unkempt woman who must have weighed at least three hundred pounds, and a...
