IF LOVE IS WAR, MAY THE BEST WOMAN WIN!

There’s a battle brewing for the hearts of black men, who will win? The answers are broken down between the pages of this how-to guide in 5 basic steps. Without apology, Small reveals to single sisters everywhere why the “other” girl is making sweet love to the brothers who should be their boyfriends, while 47% of black women will never wear a wedding dress.

Using the FIVE B’S for Becoming a Better Black Woman, Small rescues single sisters from dating doom by outlining the emotional and psychological challenges that they must overcome to be at their best. Like the strictest drill sergeant or a tough love sister-friend, the author instructs black women on how to:

• overcome angry black woman BIAS
• fight BRAINWASHING that has resulted in self-hate
• Maximize black BEAUTY as a strategic asset
• release and unload emotional BAGGAGE
• be mentally, physically and emotionally BETTER

Best described as a relationship boot-camp guide for black women, the book is part memoir, part satire and humorous cultural analysis. The guide, although unconventional and irreverent, succeeds in giving black women the one thing they need: strategies for winning at love, life and everything in between.

Layla James has fallen passionately in love with Grayson Miles; a handsome man with the charisma to match his looks. The chemistry between the two is ignitable. The fire that lies between them is so tempting that breaking the rules is hotter than maintaining ambiguity.
