One Better

Spice Witherspoon. Desperate to free her children from misery and poverty, Spice harnessed ambition with an unparalleled sense of style to establish Southern Spice, an elegant, world-renowned restaurant. She has since become one of Michigan’s wealthiest, most respected community leaders. Yet in spite of her success, she must decide between the unexpected love of two very different men – even as she fights to shield her two troubled daughters from the devastating secrets that can destroy all she’s fought to build. Sterling. Spice’s brilliant, beautiful youngest daughter craves her mother’s love – and courts it with rebellion. Trapped by a dangerous lover and the endless high of drugs, she finds herself sliding to a new low, where only a miracle love can save her. Mink. Sterling’s older sister had a hunger to win that made her one of the nation’s first female African-American airline pilots. Instead of rejoicing in her success, she pushes her goals ever higher, alienating herself from her family and plunging into a reckless affair. Golden Westbrook. A dynamic civil rights activist and leading preacher, he offered Spice a man’s deepest love and commitment. He would inspire her in ways that would bring her joy, desire, and heartbreak – as well as the promise of life’s sweetest rewards.
