Synopsis

Two starkly contrasting families collide amidst disturbing revelations that threaten to shatter their beliefs and marital vows in this raw and reflective romantic drama in the vein of Donna Hill’s Confessions in B-Flat.

Raised on red-blooded American traditionalism, Mark’s views on life are simple—the man leads, provides, and protects the household, and the family follows suit, no matter the cost.

His refusal to part from his detrimental ways paired with his primitive ideologies drives an unknown wedge between him and those he cherishes. When he receives a series of devastating news, it could prove to be the catalyst for change that he doesn’t realize he needs.

Amy struggles to keep her family together as Mark’s behavior continues to spiral out of control. For years, she’s lived in the shadow of their marriage while trying to maintain an upstanding home and work-life balance. Soon, she finds herself immersed in a string of personal mishaps that may cause everything she’s tried to hold together to gradually slip between her fingers.

Sheldon has beaten all odds stacked against him. As a black man, he is Ivy League educated with a prominent career, a beautiful and equally educated wife, and adorable children.

Their life is the epitome of the American dream fulfilled. For Sheldon, having everything you need doesn’t always equate to what you desire. Desires that could ruin all his accomplishments.

Eva has hopes and dreams that are buried under burping babies and wifely responsibilities.

She loves her family but has lost herself in the process. In an effort to figure out her new normal, she becomes a woman her husband Sheldon doesn’t recognize. While trying to find her way back to herself, she risks losing the faith and family she holds dear.

My heart was in my throat throughout this story—hand on my forehead, shaking my head, exhaling periodically. Yes, “Tainted Liberties” is pretty intense. And it wasn’t just because it had one twist after another. But “Tainted Liberties” is a story with the base premise of race relations, and it inter......more

Wow just wow! I am so happy I finished this story. Out the gate chapter one came swinging left and right hooks! I was able to see why each character did what they, at the time felt was right. Their stories are someone else’s real life. I believe there will be many individuals that are able to relate......more

3.75 star!! Wow this book was filled with so much drama. It was really hard to put down. It’s a multi person POV with endless amounts of drama that just keeps you hooked. The writing was very simple which actually lowered my rating because I wanted a bit more depth, but that doesn’t take away from t......more
