While Twilight Comes by Gwynne Forster
This title was recommended by a library patron who keeps ME on my toes because she goes through audio books like I do good chocolate.
This is the story of Marge Hairston, a businesswoman who gained notoriety by building one of the most successful newspapers in Woodmore. Following the death of her husband, Marge is responsible for raising their three young children and the newspaper. Marge receives serious medical news that changes her life as she has known it and she is forced to retire. Now her children must carry on the legacy and the newspaper their parents started. Will they step help to support their mother or stay consumed in their own lives?
brothers (& me) by Donna Britt
Came across this title while reading the January 2012 issue of Essence magazine.
Donna Britt has always been surrounded by men-her father, three brothers, two husbands, three sons, countless friends. She learned to give to them at an early age. brothers (and me) examines Britt's life through her relationships with men-resulting in a tender, funny and heartbreaking exploration of universal issues of gender and race.

*READ READ READ!!! I am a librarian so I need to participate in my career to the fullest extent. Reading is what librarians do all day, right?;-)
