About this listen
Beautiful Judith Pierpont recently marries Harold Mills. The relationship becomes volatile after Harold returns from Vietnam. The newlyweds learn what love and war are really all about when something unexpected occurs.
Brenda Mills is stylish, young, and ready to embark on a new world of independence. After graduating in 1983 with her best friends Redd and Vanessa, she decides to enlist in the Army. She instantly connects and falls in love with a protective, charismatic man who exposes a hurtful, life-changing secret.
Paulena Mills is a head strong, stubborn woman who harbors resentment for her father's absence. She quickly loses grip with reality upon her return from Iraq. Paulena must decide if the invisible wounds are worth healing.
Three generations of women in one family face a multitude of trials.
In other stories, a young boy must decide about the man he wants to become after meeting the local drug dealer. Despite a pastor’s calling to serve the Lord, the man’s dreadful, concealed truth finally catches up with him.

Siblings Brenda and Brian Andrews think their good looks, money, and charm should afford them the pick of the litter among the abundant singles scene in Atlanta, and they've never been too shy to sample. Unfortunately, all pawns in their single life games aren't playing nicely, nor are they willing to take being manipulated lying down. As though they aren't dealing with enough, the doorway to hidden family secrets is suddenly slung open when their alcoholic, philandering, and often abusive father's body is discovered floating in their parent's pool.

Venus Johnston has a great job and a long-term, live-in boyfriend who happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous doctor. She also has a weekly beauty-parlor date to keep her long, nappy hair slick and straight. But the tedious hours and harsh chemicals in the salon have long grated on Venus. One frustrating day, she trades in the long hair for a dramatically short, natural cut and sends her commitment-balking boyfriend packing. It's a bold declaration of independence and one that has effects she never could have imagined.

Mishna Wolff grew up in a poor black neighborhood with her single father, a white man who truly believed he was black. "He strutted around with a short perm, a Cosby-esque sweater, gold chains and a Kangol---telling jokes like Redd Fox, and giving advice like Jesse Jackson. You couldn't tell my father he was white. Believe me, I tried," writes Wolff. And so from early childhood on, her father began his crusade to make his white daughter down.

The Turners have lived on Yarrow Street for over 50 years. Their house has seen 13 children grown and gone - and some returned; it has seen the arrival of grandchildren, the fall of Detroit's East Side, and the loss of a father. The house still stands despite abandoned lots, an embattled city, and the inevitable shift outward to the suburbs. But now, as ailing matriarch Viola finds herself forced to leave her home and move in with her eldest son, the family discovers that the house is worth just a 10th of its mortgage.
