Getting Across

by T.M. Duncan

Once a thick-headed, fast-tailed, big-city dreaming teenager, Louisa moved to New Orleans where she clawed her way to her position as a millionaire madam. She made many sacrifices for this title, including abandoning her role as a mother. Back alleys, betrayals and bribery were all pieces of her puzzle. Everything comes with a price. That was her first lesson learned. Even money costs, and the price that Louisa paid for her wealth keeps her up most nights. When she returns home to visit her dying mother, she's reminded of everyone she's wronged, including her neglected daughters. Losing her mother urges her to make peace with her past, but making money is easy; coming clean isn't. Can she face her fears and clear her conscience, or will she return to the ever-secretive underworld?

Refreshing

A refreshing break from my usual read. I feel it shows what happens when nobody breaks the generational curse. You end up with generations of women not knowing how to love themselves and their children. Good read.

I truly enjoyed "Getting Across"

Getting Across is a wonderful book. It's like eating really good dark chocolate; you know 1 piece is enough but you have 2 then look back and the whole box is gone. T. M. Duncan I'm hoping there's another book in the works very soon.
