Tracy Brown's Single Black Female is a taut, edgy, deftly spun
novel about four friends grappling with the dramatic twists and
turns of life, love and what it means to "make it" in America. Ivy
Donovan is a successful stylist, entrepreneur, and single mom who
has been loyal to her sons' father, Michael, who's serving a
lengthy prison sentence. But life has gotten lonely over the years,
and Ivy wants more for herself. Michael, however, isn't about to
lose his family. Coco Norris is well-off, single, childless, and
struggling with her allegiance to emotionally unavailable men. When
she finds a man who seems like he can give her everything she has
ever wanted, Coco soon discovers that she has taken on more than
she can possibly handle. Deja Maddox is a real estate agent who is
married to Bobby, a police sergeant with the NYPD. They have
assimilated, looking down on anything that doesn't fit their
buttoned-up, polished life. But Deja isn't as satisfied as she
would like everyone to believe. When Deja's past returns with a
vengeance, she's forced to face herself as her "perfect" life
begins to crumble. Nikki Diamond is a savvy, self-made
businesswoman and social media darling who lives large and with no
regrets. She's also Deja's little sister and thinks her sister can
have so much more than her ho-hum marriage. And Nikki is all too
happy to lend a "helping" hand to make that happen. Things come to
a head when Ivy's youngest son, Kingston, is caught up in a
polarizing encounter with the NYPD. Everyone must figure out where
they stand, including Bobby, who suddenly has to decide if his
"blue life" matters more to him than his Black life and the Black
lives of those he loves. Single Black Female highlights the nuances
of Black love, the often tested bonds of Black families, what it
means to face the world as a Black man and the joy and pain of
being a Black woman.
