The Sunday Brunch Diaries

New Book - AUGUST 19 2008

Lexi, Capri, Jermane, Angel, and Jewel are back together again meeting on Sundays to chat about their lives, the law, and the Lord. Each woman has tried to keep the faith and follow her dream—and each has discovered that sometimes when your prayers are answered you get much more than you bargained for. Will Lexi and Capri's friendship survive a new business partnership? Can Jermane and husband Rex keep their marriage fresh despite his workaholic ways and wandering eyes? And will differences in faith drive Angel and her new boyfriend apart?

In the tradition of bestselling authors Victoria Christopher Murray and ReShonda Tate Billingsley, Norma Jarrett's The Sunday Brunch Diaries mixes the mayhem and madness of contemporary times with an inspirational message that will appeal to both mainstream and Christian readers.
