Kerry Jackson knows exactly where the other woman lives—the one her husband, Jamison, denies exists. He tried to convince Kerry that pregnancy is making her paranoid. But out at 5 A.M., she's determined to catch him in the act. Instead she ends up arrested, wondering how she went from wealthy Atlanta debutante to jilted wife. But the stakes are too high for regrets, even if it means igniting a chain of events that will have shocking consequences for everyone. Because Kerry is Jamison's first wife, and she plans to be his last, even if it means taking her biggest gamble ever.

At the age of16, Kerryand her domineering mother, one of Atlantas elite, planher whole life. She is going to be a doctor, so she studies hard, does well atSpellman College, and applies tothe top medical schools. Butthe schools do not accept her, and she falls in love with a Morehouse man. Jamison is not what her mother wanted, nor is Kerry what Jamisons mother wanted, a spoiled rich girlnicknamed Black Barbie. Ten years later, a very pregnant Kerry is arrested for hitting her husband at his girlfriends house. How did this very-much-in-love couple come to this? Kerry starts to think back through the years, and Jamison does as well. They love each other, and for the first time, Kerry must think for herself without her mothers input. Octavias second novel is a truly wonderful story with wide appeal about love and what it takes to make a marriage in modern African American society.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
