Somebody Pick Up My Pieces

By J.D. Mason

Book Overview

Back by popular demand from fans are the Rodgers women from ONE DAY I SAW BLACK KING, DON'T WANT NO SUGAR and YOU GOTTA SIN TO GET SAVED--and the family drama is more powerful than ever. Six months ago her three daughters walked out and left Charlotte Rodgers to fend for herself. Charlotte is resentful and bitter towards her children, Clarice, Connie, and especially Camille, for leaving her to face the memories of her painful past. What Charlotte doesn't know is that the past will soon catch up with her once again. Justin and Clarice Braxton are struggling to hold on to their marriage. Justin's affair has taken its toll, and Clarice (Reesy) has to decide once and for all, if she can finally forgive him, and move forward, or if the lure of giving Justin a dose of his own medicine is too tempting to ignore. Camille Rodgers has lived her whole life under Charlotte's critical eye, struggling to be the perfect daughter and giving in to Charlotte's whims. When she steps out on her own for the first time, Camille quickly spirals out of control. Connie Rodgers has fallen in love with her new son and things are going strong with her son's father, John King. Then John finds out that his father is on his death bed. Unwelcome blasts from the past resurface, putting their new family to the test.

DD (Disappointed and Depressing)

It is always good to read work from my Denver homegirl, JD Mason but this one is a sleeper. She uses the same characters and plots from previous novels and just expanded on their stories. To me, this was a lazy way to create new work (honestly, this is not new but revisited). The story surrounds Charlotte Rodgers and her 3 daughters and their troubles and includes the family of Andre. This novel just drags on forever and makes it so depressing. I couldn't wait until the end. The best thing about this novel is the last 2 chapters. I will still continue to support Ms.Mason but this one is a truly throw away. I
