I believe that Grown Folks Business was a good book. I can understand how Sheridan reacted the way that she did toward her situation. I know that if my husband divorces me for another man, I would know how to handle it. I would be ready to kill him particularly for hiding the fact that he was gay,and wasting precious years of my life.
ReplyDeleteI know it had to be hard dealing with a teenage son in this type of drama. I think that the author done a very nice job with portraying the story, and I'm glad that after all was said and done that Sheridan was able to find herslf and put trust back into the Lord.
