What Doesn’t Kill You (Touchstone) by authors, Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant is my featured book of color pick of the day.
What Doesn’t Kill You is a timely story about crawling out from financial ruin. DeBerry and Grant chronicle the poignant journey of opinionated, straight-talking, witty, and fly forty-something Thomasina “Tee” Hodges’ as her once stable life is turned upside down when she loses her job. But with time, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what’s really important in life, she gains the best of friends, family, and the power to survive, thrive, and move forward.

DeBerry and Grant are also the bestselling authors of Gotta Keep on Tryin the sequel to Tryin to Sleep in the Bed You Made. The writing team met while the two of them were working as models. A friendship forged and the two began to write, turning a 25-year friendship into the most successful and enduring writing collaboration in fiction. This book is perfect for the fans of the Terry McMillan books, especially How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
