Holiday Flava'

Nadine Charleston and Gerald Phillips are closer and hotter than ever. These two mixed like oil and water in "Hunger." They needed nothing and no one, but soon became inseparable. They have a lot to celebrate this year. Nadine's catering business is booming. Plus their romance novel is picked up for publication. It wouldn't be the holidays, though, if things weren't a little funky. Nadine's holiday plans are cut when Gerald is sent to Europe on a banking crisis. Gregory and Keisha are wrestling with parenthood, school, and work. Doc and Grace Farris try to support each other through Grace's personal challenges. Even Mother Farris is pissed off about the holidays, to no one's surprise. Add to this a mysterious Jamaican herb man and Gerald's know-it-all ex-wife who shows up unannounced.

There's no flava' like Holiday Flava', and this family works through their yuletide season with love, patience, great food, and understanding.

Like in "Hunger," please enjoy the bonus section with great holiday recipes from the author's family and friends. Happy Holidays!
