After a lifetime of betrayal, Mrs. Stone is finished...but not quite done. To survive, she must destroy her husband's young mistress, enlist a murderer to catch a blackmailer, and, in exchange for more than a million dollars, seduce a magnificent man of God.
For twenty years, Mrs. Stone has protected the Motown family. Now, she
must use the secrets in her notorious notebook to save herself and heal her
wounded heart.
HEART OF A WOMAN breathlessly probes the depths of grownup
love, men's fear of intimacy, and the loving possibilities that
await every woman's heart.
Nearly forty and flawless, the novel's central character, Jimi Stone,
is a woman of unique gifts-- a polio survivor with the ability to
“hear the hearts of strangers”-- a compassionate and powerful
woman, courageous enough to protect and, sometimes, punish the
people she loves.
Shocking, thought-provoking, sensual, and provocative, Heart is set against the backdrop of Motown in its prime and filled with
vital, fascinating, characters, both, familiar and new. Shrewdly
spiritual, Heart spans four decades and three generations of
triumphant African-American women.
Williams’ gift for capturing voice, nuance, and people is exceptional. For the discerning adult reader, Heart of a Woman
guarantees a captivating mix of laughter, drama, and, remarkable
storytelling.
