About the author

Tia McCollors used to dream of being a television news anchor, but her destiny led her behind the pages instead of in front of the cameras. After earning a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from UNC-Chapel Hill, she went on to build a successful career in the public relations industry. In 1999, a job layoff prompted Tia to discover and pursue a writing career as an author. Following the birth of her son in 2006, she left the corporate arena to focus on her family and her expanding writing and speaking business.

Tia’s first novel, A Heart of Devotion, was an Essence Magazine bestseller. She followed her popular debut with four other inspirational novels including Zora’s Cry, The Truth About Love, The Last Woman Standing, and Steppin’ Into The Good Life. In 2012, she released If These Shoes Could Talk, her first devotion book of The Prissy Purse Devotions series. Tia’s sixth novel, Friday Night Love, will be released in May 2014, followed by Sunday Morning Song in October 2014.

In addition to being an author, Tia is an inspirational speaker as well as an instructor for writing workshops. Her speaking and literary works have been spotlighted in a growing number of publications, including Black Enterprise magazine, Who’s Who In Atlanta, The Good Life magazine and the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. In December 2013, she was honored to receive the Jubilee of Reading Heritage Award by the DeKalb County Library System.

I learned so much about myself and my relationships through this book. It made me look into the intimacy of my own faith and thoughts about love and heartache. I love, love, love this book! For women who single and married this is a must read that will take you on a journey and reconnect you with the true meaning of love with God first, and then love with your mate.

I think the story line is interesting and it is a powerful story of true friendship between for ladies. They were there for each other in a lot of ways but most importantly they were each others spiritual prayer buddies. I also enjoyed how everything came full circle from Zora's Cry to this sequel The Truth about Love. I am looking forward to reading more by Tia McCollors.

I loved this book! The first book I read that was spiritually and realistically in-tuned. This was a good book that showed what four women were up against with a variety of obstacles, and how their faith and love got them through it all.

The Truth About Love was my first introduction to Christian fiction and I loved this book. It was real and dealt with issues that confront the daily christian. Thank you Tia McCollors. A late bloomer for your books, but its not too late to be a fan.
Thank you.

I cant decide whether I enjoyed this book or not. This is the reason why I rated it 'ok'. I enjoy reading urban christian fiction so I think I expected more from this book. The end annoyed me a lot because what I expected to happen did not happen.

This book was given to me when I was in the hospital. I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a wonderful book about faith.

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

I felt it read like so many other books I have read prior to this one. The storyline did not seem very original. I stopped reading it around pg. 100.
