In "A Fine Piece of Chocolate: Righteous Sistas Crossing Over to the Wild Side" (published by WestBow Press), Jacqueline R. Banks' new romance novel, readers learn that love does not have to be a four-letter word and that redemption is possible.
"A Fine Piece of Chocolate" chronicles the lives of three women, all involved in the universal search of finding love. Instead, they find lust, betrayal, compromise and finally redemption. Banks sends a powerful message through these characters, encouraging readers to know their values, love themselves and never compromise what is near and dear to them.
An excerpt from "A Fine Piece of Chocolate":
"A boyfriend is not a substitute for a husband, and many a young woman feels such an attachment to the young man she is with, that she cannot see a future without him. Kim and Eric had many philosophical discussions, but the humanistic point of view of self determination and make your own values is the antithesis of the views Kim's parents schooled her in. Emotions just don't stand still. They lead one somewhere."
For Banks, "A Fine Piece of Chocolate" is a chance for her to deliver a powerful message to readers. "I want readers to take away from this writing that no matter what happens in their life, there is always opportunity for redemption, and there is a God that loves them," she says.
