Something's always been off with Eva Moss, but in the African American community, everything is prayed away, including "crazy." What happens when the answer to prayer is therapy and medication? According to Eva's mother, that's taboo. All it takes is a little more Jesus, and Eva will be normal. Normal never lasts long. After Eva's brother, Michael, is killed in a car accident, she is finally admitted to the psych ward for help. Stabilization seems within reach, until a quick trip to the pharmacy brings her face to face with Myles, the man responsible for taking her brother away from her. When Myles turns up dead, Eva has to prove her innocence. According to her, she didn't kill Myles; her deceased brother did. Can she stand trial? Should she stand trial? The question remains: was Myles' murder a result of her mental health disorder or premeditated murder?

Big girls deserve love too, and Brandie Davis and Niko Michelle introduce readers to two women who are determined to get it. Camgirl by Brandie Davis: Lots of women weighing 300 pounds would have a problem with their size and wish for a smaller frame, but not Draya Ruckers. She's content with her weight and has no issues with her outside appearance. It's the inside she's at war with. Her mind is her biggest enemy, and emotions are her personal bully. Draya's only place of refuge, where her depression is silenced, lies in the world of camming, where virtual viewers cheer on and instruct her sexual activities. This is her life: artist by day and camgirl by night, until her heart betrays her and seeks interest in a man it won't let go of. Draya's inner self is finally evolving and learning life is not all black shadows. But now that she's learned this lesson, can her new lover accept all the baggage she comes with, camming and all?

Now free, Redarra has dropped a few pounds and a few letters in her name. "Red" is curvy, dangerous, and on a mission for revenge. It's not her fault everyone overlooked her red flags.
