Inhaltsangabe

In her debut novel, Man Trouble, Latina Sheard has composed an engaging story about five dynamic women: Sylvia, Patricia, Kenya, Simone, and Valerie. As stylists at In the Mix Beauty Salon, each woman is living out her professional dream. But, their life outside of the shop is filled with struggle and heartache. Sylvia lost the love of her life in a tragic car accident and is left to raise two sons on her own. Unwilling to imagine falling in love with another man, her sons are now the only men in her life - one a model student and athlete, the other an ex-con with no plans of reform. She wants to protect one son from the other without building resentment within her already fragile family. Unlike Sylvia, Patricia doesn’t mourn over matters of the heart. Patricia’s encounters with men were too early and too often, and now she wants nothing to do with them. When she meets Ellis, a younger man, Patricia is hesitant to give up her carefree, drama-free lifestyle. Simone has always done the right thing. Early in her life, Simone’s drug-addicted mother left her to take care of her younger sister, Kenya. Even today, Simone is still looking after Kenya, who thinks she has to pay men to be with her. But Simone’s growing desire for something “different,” and Kenya’s jealously of Simone’s life and marriage may end up destroying them both. Valerie has spent the better part of her 17-year marriage supporting Charles’ real estate business. Now that she is focusing on her own career, Charles has become distant and disrespectful. Valerie wonders if he’s just being possessive or if there’s more to the attitude change. Explore how these women find the strength to overcome past hurts, insecurities, and temptations to let true love blossom.
