I am woman hear me roar

What is it about being born on a Wednesday? Zoe Knight was born on a Wednesday... Was that Strike One? Her husband cheated on her... Was that Strike Two? If that's the case, Strike three is going to be a real doozy! Do curve balls count? Will it end there or is whatever happens next going to make it a completely new ballgame??? So many secrets. Zoe is definitely not living the charmed life. Her children bring their own set of problems. Death or despair seem to be waiting for her around every corner. Some of the things a girl goes through in a lifetime can definitely break any camels back. Have you ever had a lifelong friendship tested? A trust broken? It's enough to break your heart. See how Ms. Sloan has Zoe deal with these issues along with everything else going on in her life. It has to take a strong woman to deal with the difficulties Zoe is made to face and come through the other side a better person. Ms. Sloan is great for showing that side of her female characters, for whatever doesn't kill you tends to make you stronger. At least in Zoe's case it does. Pick up where Zoe's troubles began... on Wednesday.

Loved It

I really enjoyed this book and it felt like I knew the characters personally. I admired Antonio and the twist in the story took me by surprise. I hope there is a sequel. Keep up the good work.

The Next Terry McMillian

Wednesday's Woes was an excellent piece of art work, comparable to Terry McMillian. The novel discussed death, sisterly love, sexual relationships, divorce, blended familes, and so much more. However, Terry can't touch Sloan's sex scenes. Gayle gave you something to think about...

Zoe, Zoe, Zoe

Zoe is a woman who normally I would have wanted to see bad things happen too but then when it did, I was like...DAWG, do you guys really need to treat her so badly? Take her best friend...Tamika. Well, Tamika was just plain ol' WRONG for what she did and so therefore I had to side with Zoe. Vaughn, another person on the WRONG SIDE of right, and so one more time I had to side with Zoe, and don't even get me started on Antonio...I just knew he had a little bit more together in his togetherness... I enjoyed the way Ms. Jackson-Sloan took us into the mind of a woman the like of which all have encountered at one time or another-one we've watched with total amazement wondering how she will land on her feet this time. You can't stop reading until you see if she does or not. The ending was a nice little surprise which left me asking...So Gayle, what comes next? Ms. Jackson-Sloan is a great advocate of the strong, independent, contemporary black woman, making her stand on this planet.

You won't be disappointed.....

with this read....Wednesday's Woes was excellent!!! I couldn't put the book down because I was so anxious to see what would happen next. The way she worked in the characters from Saturday's Child with the story line of this book will have you anxious to turn the page. Zoe wasn't no joke in Saturday's Child and she definitely holds her own in Wednesday's Woes. Very nice job Gayle..can't wait for the next one....
