Grown Folks Business

By Victoria Christopher Murray

     Imagine after having been married for seventeen years to have your spouse announce to you that they are in love with someone else, and that person happens to be the same sex as them. Sheridan Hart is faced with this when her husband, business partner, and father of their two children, Quentin, announces that he is love with another man. Can Sheridan survive the betrayal and surprise of Quentin's admission? Sheridan turns to family and God to help her through this rocky transition, and she wonders if it was all worth it.
Victoria Christopher Murray does another fabulous job in reaching into the hearts of her readers. She is able to convey the strength of hope, compassion, and understanding and how important it can be in one's life. She shows how strong a female can be when faced with personal adversity, especially when that adversity is part of her family. Once again, Ms. Murray focuses on the strength of faith, and she made it interesting to see how Sheridan's church supported her and her husband's decisions regarding Quentin's bisexuality.
