Dental Surgeon Authors New Novel, When a Sistah's Fed Up

From the author who demystifies Black slang in "Black English Vernacular"
and presents the growing pains of family life in the humorous and
heartwarming, "Mom, Are We There Yet?" comes a provocative and suspenseful
new novel. When a Sistah's Fed Up (AuthorHouse; August 2005; ISBN
142084895X; $16.00 paperback) by Monica Frazier Anderson is an insightful
cautionary tale about a prominent politician's struggle to save her career,
salvage her marriage, and keep her sanity through it all.

It seems that Faith Henry has the 'perfect' life. She's the first African
American mayor of a small Texas town that is recognized as one of the 'ten
best places to live' in the nation. She shares a half-million dollar home
with her husband, and her two children are as near perfect as kids can be.
Everyone who sees and knows her will say without a doubt that Faith Henry is
living the good life. But we all know that "everything that glitters ain't
gold." And though Faith may be living life like its golden, she is more
stressed and depressed than she has ever been in her life.

Adding to Faith's strained emotional state is the fact that someone tries to
assassinate her while she is out campaigning for re-election. Before she
allows her body to fully heal from this near death experience, she returns
to a City Hall that once respected her, to one that's indifferent and
shrouded in secrecy. Just when it seems that her political career is getting
back on track, a dark secret from her past is revealed during a public
debate with the candidates. The exposure of her secret is devastating and
her popularity drops quickly in the polls. And instead of seeking comfort in
the loving arms of her husband, she finds comfort in the open and waiting
arms of her administrative assistant, Raymond Hart.

Faith's life is definitely spiraling out of control and she begins to
question everything and everyone in it - Do her political rivals hate her so
much that they want her dead? Who's trying to destroy her reputation and her
family's good name? Is a political career really what she wants or needs?
The drama continues to build in Faith's life and it literally reaches a
boiling point where she's weary of "well-doing" under public scrutiny and
tired of being taken for granted by those she loves and who claim to love
her in return. When a sistah's fed up, a change is gonna' come. Have you
ever been fed up?

Monica Anderson's debut fiction novel is destined to captivate readers from
the first sentence. With witty dialogue and colorful characters, this new
novel examines the unpredictable consequences of a woman's anorexic inner
spirit when she takes an open honest assessment of how unfulfilling her life
has become and what she must do about it.
