Thankfully, she has her young lover, Antonio, to lean on and help see her through it all. Zoe's certain that they know everything about each other and he is her only joy at the moment. But can one know everything about another -- even the one you are living and sleeping with? When she gets a very nasty surprise and a serious wake-up call, things begin to spiral out of control.

About the author

Gayle Jackson Sloan is a native of Philadelphia, but has lived in various places and has traveled extensively, helping to fuel her imagination for the people and places in her novels. Gayle has loved to read and write since she was four years old. Growing up, she used to write volumes of poetry that was inspired by the syncopated rhythms of Maya Angelou and the freestyle of Nikki Giovanni. Life, however, has a way of sometimes getting in the way and she put aside her poetry to raise her daughter. Encouraged by her mother and husband, she started two books that were still languishing in the bottom of a drawer. However, it wasn't until the passing of her beloved mother that she finally finished her first novel, Saturday's Child, which she first self-published.

Amid personal tragedies, upheavals, and general chaos, she struggled tenaciously to finish her second novel, Wednesday's Woes , which is a follow up -- not a sequel -- to her first novel. She attended Philadelphia University where she studied interior design. She is currently a legal assistant at a prestigious law firm. When she is not writing, reading or gardening, she is teaching her grandchildren to say "Nana is a Diva!"
