When I first decided to write my book it had been a while since I had read a book, as crazy as that sounds. So a friend of mine suggested that I find the top ten authors in my genre and read their latest books.
One of the artists on the list was KiKi Swinson, author of the famed "Wifey" series. Before I had a chance to go to the library, my sister told me about a good book she'd read. Coincidently, the book was "The Candy Shop" by KiKi Swinson. (Big sis can read my mind! Lol!)
The book tells the story of Faith, a black woman with a pretty good life. She is a beautiful, single assistant principal working at a nice school. The only bad thing in her life was her best friend, Teresa, who works as a secretary at the same school. Teresa keeps Faith in trouble at work and then persuades Faith to ease her pain by using a heroine and cocaine coctail.
For Faith it was a one time thing. For Teresa it was a habit and that monkey is on her back hard. When Teresa is caught snorting on the job and is forced to take a drug test or be fired, she insinuates that there are other staff members that should be tested. The betrayal causes Faith to get fired right along with Teresa.
Faith then turns to the drugs as an escape from the reality of her life. That is when the book gets crazy. Faith goes from assistant principal to certified dope head. This book is a must read! So click on the book cover on the top left and get your copy of "The Candy Shop".
