/24-7PressRelease/ - KINGWOOD, TX, January 02, 2008 - "Georgia Brown has always had her husband's back; she was the sole bread winner while he struggled to establish a career in show business as a comedian. Now she wonders if the sacrifice was worth it."
In Sweet Georgia Brown (New American Library, 0451222288, $13.95), author Cheryl Robinson takes Georgia on a magnanimous ride to finding herself. Marvin finally gets his big break and is now a poplar radio personality. But with his good fortune he inherits his thirteen year old daughter, who Georgia knew nothing about. He is constantly away from home, and he has developed a funky attitude about Georgia.
The popularity of his talk show seems to thrive on cracks about Georgia's weight, their marriage, their sex life, and his philandering. When Marvin actually puts his 'woman' on his live talk show, Georgia is through turning her head -- enough is enough! Marvin's female listeners demand his wife have equal time, and Georgia agrees to do the show. Payback is a mother, when Georgia receives an offer from a rival talk show. It's like wind beneath her wings, as she takes flight and all hell breaks loose!
Somehow the roles are starting to reverse and all of a sudden, Georgia is becoming a house-hold name and is realizing Marvin is no longer the man she married. Marvelous Marvin, still too full of himself, is treading in waters to deep even for his boots. And Georgia maybe the only one who can save him.
Sweet Georgia Brown is a delightful story of acceptance and empowerment. It shines as a beacon of light for women who find themselves in a position of power.
Praise for Sweet Georgia Brown . . . .
"This is a fabulous African American affirmative answer to "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?", but with a sweet twist as Georgia punches back in their on the air gender war. Fans including most males will root for Georgia as Marvin cruelly puts her down at home and in public.Told in three parts by Cheryl Robinson, readers will appreciate this fine tale of transformation . . . "
-- Harriet Klausner, #1 Amazon.com Reviewer
"Robinson's writing is filled with humor and the revealing, touching moments of everyday life. Women everywhere will cheer for protagonist Georgia as she embraces her dreams and enjoys the fulfillment she has sought all her life." - Romantic Times Book Review
