Customer Reviews

A very complete love story with intrigue and resolution

In reading this book, I was very pleased with the way the story kept my interest. Like most people, I enjoy romance novels because they have a way of transporting you to another place,time era ect. That's the main reason I especially enjoyed this reading by Monica Jackson. To me, this was a very good book and I would recommend to everyone.

A celebration of love and life

This book begans with a happy family: Teddi, who is not such a beauty on the outside but very beautiful on the inside is abandoned by J.T., a very handsome husband who has secrets that will tear their family apart but will also bring them back together in a stronger bond. The book is very insightful on the meanings and traditions of kwanzna and there are very good recipes in the back of the book. I would recommend it for the holidays.

Mystery and Kwanzaa together

Teddi Henderson has just gotten used to her life in the small town where she was raised in Kansas. After her husband's disappearance and betrayal, she has rearranged her life around her teaching career and her daughter. And then one night, J.T., her husband, the love of her life, her sould mater returns, and with him all of the pain, hurt, and memories return. J.T. ha scome to this small town to be with his wife and young daughter to celebrate the Kwanzaa season and to gain strenght, spirituality and renewal from his favorite holiday. After Teddi's intial shock, J.T. explains that he had been working as an undercover government agent using his computer firm as a front. His partner had come upon some damaging information and was killed. The people who had killed his partner had threatened J.T. and his family. He now betgs Teddi to let him spend Kwanazz with his family and then find out why his life was turned upside down. While i found the story line a bit os a stretch and Teddi and her family much too forgiving, the holiday celebration and principles of Kwanzaa more than made up for the bizarre situation.

Happy Kwanza!!

Beautiful novel about love,family, and holiday tradition. This novel was very creative and some of the quotes incorporated within the novel were very inspirational. Teddi loved her husband and her family so much she risked her own life to win back the life she missed two years of. Although, I was sort of put off by some of the unrealistic plots in this book it was still very good. For instance, the Feds actually letting J.T. go without any other complications to hinder him in returning to hsi family. J.T.'s disapperance for two years from his wife and his child's life was upsetting to me as well. In my opinion, Teddi took his homecoming in stride. In other words, it wasn't that chaotic or emotional as I expected. Especially, if the person you love disappears out of your life for two years and suddenly reappears. Eddie, Teddi sister seemed a little to desperate to get Cecil under her claws. Neverhteless, the book deserved a 4 star rating because of the underlying message and the love the emanated from the characters. I loved the recipes and the defintions of the 7 days celebrating the Kwanza Holiday!!!!
