Renew your faith

Renew your faith in sprituality, men, and sister hood. This book will take you there! I highly recommend this book to all looking for a good wholesome read. My book club read it and had a Sunday Brunch for our meeting. We ended up having a great round table conversation about the different subjects that came up in the book. It was delightful! Excellent read! Nikkea "Auset" Lewis Pssst Bookclub member

Through FAITH we can do all things

Capri is the business savvy sister with a sharp legal mind but who's afraid to open her heart to love. Jermane is married but her husband Rex is working too much and not giving her enough attention. Angel is divorced; she believes that men are only good for two things. Jewel has a law degree which she has never used, and champagne taste on a cheap liquor budget which keeps her in debt. Lexi, the main character, who is the connecting link to the other 4 friends, is the primary focus for Sunday Brunch. Everyone turns to Lexi because to them, she's spiritually connected. Lexi uses her faith to bless her girlfriends. She lends each of them her shoulder every Sunday after church. However, she has her own concerns about being single, finding a Christian Filled brother who wants the same things that she desires along with worries regarding the ongoing existence of her private practice, and when she needs a shoulder, she can't find one. Sunday Brunch was and easy and cute read. I enjoyed it from start to finish!!!!!!! Rolanda Nothing BUT Page Turners Book Club

Friends til the End

SUNDAY BRUNCH by Norma L. Jarrett is the story of five friends who met in law school. Every Sunday, Lexi, Capri, Angel, Jermane and Jewel meet after church for brunch so they can get caught up on the week's events as well as spend some quality sister-girl time together. Alexis Parker has her own law practice and is the confidante of the group. She is the one everyone comes to when they have a problem. Problem is, Lexi has no one to turn to when she needs a shoulder to lean on, she is struggling with her faith and searching for her soul mate. Capricia Sterling is an attorney at a top notch Houston firm who is no-nonsense and strictly business. She has it all together in business, but not so together in love. She was hurt in the past and will not allow anyone the opportunity to hurt her again. Capri meets a client of another attorney at her office who just may be the one to mend her broken heart.

Due to him working long hours Jermane feels neglected and unappreciated. Temptation rears its ugly little head,and Jermane has to decide if she wants to take a leap on the wild side or rekindle what her and her husband once shared. Jewel Whitaker only dates men with a sizable bank account. She is self-absorbed and an only child who is use to getting what she wants when she wants it. She meets a man who doesn't live up to her usual standards, but there is something about him that causes her to rethink her requirements.

Praises For Sunday Brunch

This was a wonderful novel that showed the problems and iniquities that women face everyday. I appreciated the fact that these were real characters we all know: sophisticated, career-minded, materialistic(Jewel), dedicated, spiritual, self-absorbed, yet all were real. This story displayed crisis, conflict and tension that all 'girls' go through, but the most wonderful thing about SB is that it had a spiritual message weaved throughout the story!Readers will love and identify with all the characters as well as the storyline. Everyday we are faced with the ways of the world and as the central character proves over and over again,by praying for and with her friends, we can survive the worst that life has to offer if we just lift our hearts in prayer.If you don't do anything else read this book for it's spiritual foundation and to find out about banana pudding!(ha-ha) I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Jarrett's novel and would recommend that men and women read it.Without giving away the end I'll just say it was refreshing to have an author reaffirm the fact that it is possible to have Happily Ever After novels. Bravo! Ms. Jarrett and I hope that you are already working on your second spirtual based novel.

Outstanding debut...

Much love and support to Norma Jarret. I enjoyed this novel very much. This story is about ambitious women and the men in their lives.Lexi is the connection to all her friends. She's spiritially grounded. Wondering why God is answering all her prayers for her friends but not her's.Angel doesn't believe in God until she receives some disappointing news. She doesn't want to give into love again and be hurt.Jewel is very irresponsible and materialistic. She needs to be on a budget. Kevin came in her life at the right time.Jermane is married to a man that loves his job. He hasn't been spending alot of time with her. She feels a need to define herself and her future. The transformation begins when she meets Naegel.Capri is a very talented attorney who isn't looking for love until she finally gives Anthony a chance.Once again, I loved this book from cover to cover. I wish this author much success. I'm not sure what book one of the readers read but I disagree with the review. Keep the faith Norma. Be Blessed.
