I Love this family

Writing this book was such a wonderful idea. For those of you who do not have access to Sho.com or the time to watch the series this is the perfect remedy.Through Thick and Thin is the first in the series and concerntrates on Kenny and Maxine. They are married with children and Maxine who happens to be a stay at home mom decides she wants to write. The class is once a week in the evening, during hers and Kenny's special time. What follows will have the reader anxious to get to the end, but sad it ended.The actions and situations match each character from the series. I enjoyed the history Ms Banks furnished throughout Soul Food it afforded the reader the opportunity to get reacquainted with situations from the series, however if your new to the series reading the book will give you a feel for the characters and their issues.

Well seasoned story.

The television series, Soul Food, is being captured in books byLeslie E. Banks, and this second episode Through Thick and Thin features some serious issues confronting our favorite couple Kenny and Maxine. Readers are made aware of how easily a marriage can become bland.The stress begins when Maxine, after 13 years of living for her family, realizes there is something she wants to do just for herself. But when she approaches Kenny about attending a six-week writing class, things hit the fan. Maxine is wondering when or how their sacrifices became so one-sided? But she's determined not to take this lying down. Kenny is the model husband and father, a hardworking man who has provided for all of his family's need. At least that's how he sees things, but Kenneth has ghosts he needs to confront. When he becomes chauvinistic, Maxine has had enough, and a standoff ensues. Kenny's position is further endangered when her instructor sexy, single, renowned author, PaulGotier ignites a smoldering fire in Maxine.Fans of the stories will undoubtedly embrace these books with the same eagerness afforded the television series. And with good reason, because Ms. Banks writes a strong mature story with agood measure of realism. There are lessons to be learned from the insightful emotions she presents as she showcases the obstacles and benefits of sharing a marriage. This story will entertain, enlighten and refresh. The light at the end of the tunnel never looked so good. Pick up a copy and savor a taste that will please the palate.Reviewed by aNN Brown of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
