After all
her hard work, Sheila has finally gotten to where she feels she was always
meant to be: the world of radio psychology.
With such
topics as “Removing our Demons to hear from our Angels,” the show had
motivation but hardly any levity, mainly because the goal of the show was
alleviating the hardships of the black community. And Sheila does her best to
help them. Often referred more as a “powerful life coach,” Sheila works long
and hard, even though she doesn’t consider what she does as “work.”
Life
couldn’t be more perfect for Sheila, except perhaps this “secret” of hers. What
is the secret and why is she reminded of it?
Story is
basically about “the things we don’t say out loud”—the secrets we hide from the
world but live with everyday, the memories that haunt us, the pain that
resurfaces and eats away at our soul. It’s the kind of story that begs the
question, “Why me, God?” It’s about life, and these characters are living it. In
this book, one man fights with his estranged wife, another finds solace at the
bottom of a whiskey bottle, and a woman goes crazy upon learning of her
boyfriend’s infidelity. At times, the story lagged a bit and some of the
characters were not that interesting; however, readers would still be able to
relate to the characters in some way.
The real
mystery is on Sheila’s secret. Although I was curious about it, it wasn’t
something I was dying to find out.
Overall, the
book plays with a little mystery, but it’s really more of an urban drama.
My rating: 2.5 stars
