Product Description:
The news is not good for black women when it comes to finding a partner. Where not long ago there were roughly two married women to every single woman, those numbers have gradually reversed over the past few decades—now, more than 60 percent of black women have either never married or are divorced. These numbers are far greater than those of any other social group, and the trend shows no sign of reversing.

Sole Sisters is certain to ignite public debate on how and why so many black women remain single and spark discussion as to what semi-permanent singlehood means for so many.

"Sole Sisters" is a point-blank look at what Black women go through as they progress from their flirty 20's, commandeering 30's and on into that comfort zone of the 40's. ... Read More
