The Author La Toya Hankins

Like iced tea, love perfectly blends the bitter and sweet to have something worth savoring.

The women in these six stories ignore religious and racial differences to find someone who serves as the perfect balance. They know and prove flavors that are perfect on their own can come together to create something that requires celebrating.

From mixed-up place settings at a wedding reception to forgoing an elaborate ceremony for exchanging vows in front of a magistrate after a night of civil disobedience, the women in these stories pursue their passions on their way to wedded bliss, joining in the joy at those crossing that threshold and on the other side of the broom where the savory and the sweet can be so satisfying.
