Amazon.com description: Product Description: When Regina Burns married Blue Hamilton, she knew he was no ordinary man. A charismatic R&B singer who gave up his career to assume responsibility for the safety of Atlantaâs West End community, Blue had created an African American urban oasis where crime and violence were virtually nonexistent. In the beginning, Regina enjoyed a circle of engaging friends and her own work as a freelance communications consultant. Most of all, she relished the company of her husband, who never ceased to be a source of passion and delight.
Then everything changed. More and more frightened women were showing up in West End, seeking Blueâs protection from lovers who had suddenly become violent. When the worst offenders begin to disappear without a trace, the signsâall of them grimâseem to point toward Blue and his longtime associate, Joseph âGeneralâ Richardson. Now that Regina is pregnant, her fear for Blueâs safety has become an obsession that threatens the very heart of their relationship.
At the same time, Reginaâs friend Aretha Hargrove is desperately trying to redefine her own marriage. Arethaâs husband, Kwame, is lobbying for them to leave West End and move to midtown. Aretha resists at first, but finally agrees in an effort to rekindle the flame that first brought them together.
Regina and Aretha have no way of knowing that what they regard as their private struggles will soon become very public. When Baby Brother, a charming con man, insinuates himself into the community, it becomes clear that there is more to his handsome façade than meets the eye. He carries the seeds of change that will affect both women in profound and startling ways.
Returning to the vividly rendered Atlanta district of her last two novels, New York Times bestselling author Pearl Cleage brilliantly weaves the threads of her charactersâ intersecting lives into a story of family, friendship and, of course, love. Baby Brotherâs Blues is full of wit and warmth, illumination the core of every womanâs hopes and dreams.
