"Textbook Hardcover. New. List $ 21. [Kensington Publishing Corporation] 304 pages. From the Publisher When On the Down Low, Jimmy King's sensational confessional about ""straight"" African-American men sleeping with other men, hit the New York Times bestseller list, there was one person who already knew the story because she had lived it with him-his ex-wife, Brenda Stone Browder. For eight years, Brenda was married to a man who was not only cheating on her but cheating on her with other men. For eight years, she ignored the signs, the clues, and her intuition. She made his lie hers. And she paid the price. Now, she's ready to tell her story, one that offers hope and healing. Co-written with New York Times bestselling author, Karen Hunter, On the Up and Up is Brenda's inspiring account of overcoming pain and betrayal to find her mission in life-helping other women know they are not alone and that there is a way to turn their hurt and isolation into forgiveness and healing. With straight-up honesty and from-the-heart wisdom, Brenda shares her journey from naive, church-going virgin always chaperoned on her dates through her days in what she thought was a storybook marriage with the perfect lover to the shocking discovery that put her life in a tailspin. She reveals the DL signs every woman should be looking for, the personality traits DL men seek out in their ""cover girls"", and discusses the real health risks women with DL men need to know. And like an older sister, she guides with assurance, advising women on how to have that talk with their kids; how to let go of the pain and find forgiveness; and how to learn to trust and love again. Countering shame with love, pain with hope, One the Up and Up is a book that breaks down the cycle of secrets and lies and helps every woman to come out of the shadows and start living life on her own terms-on the up and up.
