Wonderful Read

This is part 2 to IF I Could. I recommend reading that first so you will have a full understanding of the book. It is a good quick read. This books tells you how many of us looking in from the outside judge our friends/family relationships totally wrong. I am not one giving up the story so I'll say this, if you think your girl has such a wonderful relationship, please please read this book.

Life Goes On

Readers may remember Regina Everette leaving her husband and making a new life in Donna Hill's novel, If I Could. In Say Yes, Regina is back and living life on her own terms. She has a new love in the person of artist Parker Heywood. She also has her thriving bookstore business. Life seems to be going her way or is it? Parker wants to take their relationship to the next level, but Regina is reluctant. She is not quite ready and her children are really not ready. They are still hoping that their parents will get back together. In fact, Regina ex-husband Russell is hoping that they can get back together. Parker is also facing some major changes in his life. He has just found his daughter whom he has not seen in years and is on his way to California to see her. Before he can get on the plane, he gets a phone call that can changes his life. The news he receives can tear this couple apart or bring them closer. They must consider their happiness and decide what they want for their future. Can children change everything? Regina friends, Victoria and Toni are also back. Victoria is still trying to come to terms with the color of her skin. In everyone else's opinion, she has everything, a good job, a great husband and a baby on the way. In trying to understand her unhappiness, her husband investigates her background and what he finds can help her come to terms about who she really is. Toni is still reeling from the damage she caused by cheating on her husband. She wants him back and is willing to do anything to get him to understand how desperately she wants to turn back the hands of time. Say Yes was a good read. In revisiting Regina, Toni and Victoria, we find some things are still the same, but mostly they have changed for the better. During the progression of time, the characters grow and make major changes in their lives. This was a good sequel because it takes up right where the last book ends and the characterizations and storyline are consistent. Even though it had been a few years since I read If I Could I felt I did not miss anything. If you enjoyed If I Could, I recommend this one to you. Jeanette APOOO BookClub
